It hard to imagine today that the sculpture Three Rotary Squares<\/em> (1975) was met with controversy and numerous protests when it was first exhibited.

\nThree horizontal axes are mounted on a steel rod that is anchored into the ground. Each one carries an aluminum square. Even with the slightest breeze, the square surfaces set in motion and they begin to rotate around the central axis when driven by stronger winds. George Rickey, a major player in kinetic art, perfected his technique to the extent that the moving elements in his sculptures seem to float weightlessly and perform an ever-changing choreography depending on the light and wind.<\/p>\n
