VERO BEACH, Fla., Jan. 22 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Vero Beach Museum of Art presents a major exhibition of works by American sculptor George Rickey on the centennial of his birth. GEORGE RICKEY KINETIC SCULPTURE: A Retrospective debuts with the opening of the Alice and Jim Beckwith Sculpture Park on Saturday, February 3, 2007, and will also be displayed indoors in the Museum's Stark and Schumann Galleries. Sponsored by the Henry Luce Foundation Inc., The George Rickey Foundation, Mr. and Mrs. David K. Welles, and the VBMA's 20/20 Vision for the Future Fund, the exhibition will be on display from February 3 through May 20, 2007.
Organized by Lucinda H. Gedeon, Ph.D., Executive Director/CEO of the Vero Beach Museum of Art, this traveling exhibition features a 50-year survey of both indoor and outdoor sculptures, including 52 works borrowed from public and private collections, which demonstrate his expressive use of movement, and the relationship of his work to the natural world. This major retrospective will be the first such exhibition of his sculpture since an important survey of his work was presented in 1979 at the Guggenheim Museum in New York.
