George Rickey was fascinated by Alexander Calder’s mobiles from the very beginning; he has been one of the most important representatives of kinetic art since the middle of the last century. Most of his kinetic sculptures consist of a vertical metal rod, at the top of which freely movable shaped elements such as metal bars or metal plates swing. The elements, which are moved simply through the draft, do not touch each other.
