The survey show will include works from the artist’s personal archive, some of which have never been seen before, offering a new insight into his artistic process and proving Rickey an intelligent and profound interrogator of kinesis in art.

An iconic and influential sculptor represented in major museum collections internationally,Rickey’s kinetic works developed as a result of experimenting with a range of materials during his service in WWII as an engineer int he Army Air Corps.  Rickey, along with Alexander Calder, was a pioneer in introducing kinetic sculpture to American in the mid-twentieth century.
