Maker George Rickey American, 1907-2002

Label TextGeorge Rickey is one of the pioneers who brought motion to abstract sculpture. His stainless steel compositions rely on wind currents to activate their component parts, building on innovations of other American peers such as Alexander Calder and David Smith. Mixing subtle lyricism with distinctly industrial materials, Rickey's work finds harmony between man and nature.
