(RICKEY, GEORGE). Davidson III, Maxwell. Altglen, PA: Schiffer Publishing, Ltd., 2004. First Edition. 4to. Cloth in Dust Jacket. Artist Monograph. As New/As New. 288pp, 382 color and b&w illustrations. With a chronology, exhibition history and bibliography. "George Rickey's importance to the art world is belied by the lack of literature about one of the world's most accomplished kinetic sculptors. His fascinating sculptural oeuvre spans a fifty-three-year working period (1949-2002) and is incredibly diverse. This book is concerned exclusively with the early indoor sculptures from the first twenty-five years of George Rickey's output. With three hundred and eighty-two color and black & white photographs covering the artist's early innovations, we get an intimate and complete picture of his artistic diversity. This book lays a firm foundation to an understanding of Rickey's creative intentions, and carefully categorizes the works into thirty-eight stylistically diverse chapters. Many of these works are published here for the first time". A pristine copy. 0-7643-1992-2 Inventory Number: 009649
