George Rickey: The First Movement presents early formative sculptures by the American sculptor on the occasion of Art Basel’s OVR: Pioneers, on view online and by appointment at the gallery from March 24–27, 2021.
Acknowledged as one of the foremost innovators of kinetic art, George Rickey (1907–2002) devoted himself to the investigation of motion in sculpture, producing dynamic works using simple geometric forms in which his prodigious understanding of engineering and mechanics is demonstrable.
The nine works included in the presentation were created during the first ten years of Rickey’s sculptural practice and span from 1951 to 1960. Manifested in the form of both free-standing sculptures and suspended mobiles, one can see formal and compositional elements in this group of works that would later recur throughout Rickey’s extensive, half-century oeuvre.
