From the exhibition Sculpture in Motion at the Atlanta Botanical Garden on view through October 2008 and curated by Brigitte Micmacker from Sculpturesite Gallery. Curator's commentary: "The George Rickey work in the Sculpture in Motion exhibition, Two Lines Oblique, Atlanta, 1969, on loan from the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, is a classic example of the monumental works composed of blades that became Rickey's best known legacy. The long, tapered blades used as pendulums are a wonder of empirical engineering: light-weight sheet stainless steel is wrapped around a structural core and lead weights are distributed unevenly to slow down the blades individually, a procedure Rickey used to create as much as a tenfold difference of tempo within the same sculpture."
