Four Trapezoids as Rectangles V, 1987

This kinetic sculpture by George Rickey is a focal point for the Museum grounds. The sculpture consists of four trapezoids that form two rectangles when at rest. It is rarely at rest, as the trapezoids float, turn and move with the slightest breeze.

Museum purchase with funds provided by Texprint (GA.), Inc. and Tokai Senko K.K. in celebration of their 10th annniverary in Macon, and matched with donations from the Museum Memorial Fund, the Fine Arts Committee, and the artist.
