The South Bend Museum of Art is mounting an indoor and outdoor exhibition of his life's work, including garden sculpture, small pedestal sculptures and maquettes, pastel drawings of flowers, painted portraits, and preliminary sketches of large scale sculpture. This specific exhibition, entitled George Rickey: Arc of Development, is on display in the Warner Gallery at the SBMA and on the grounds of Century Center (downtown South Bend, Indiana) from September 26, 2009 through January 10, 2010. Garden sculpture located on the grounds outdoors will be installed through March 2010. 

Mounted in cooperation with the George Rickey Estate and Foundation, this assemblage of work investigates the breadth of Rickey's artistic development and engineering acumen, from traditional painter of still life's, portraits and public murals, through his mature artistic vision as a kinetic sculptor, to completing his life fill-circle with a series of flower drawings created during the last year of his life in 2002.  For the first time ever, this comprehensive survey explores his life's work, with a focus on the poetry of kinetics driven by wind and air.  A true Renaissance man and the recipient of 10 honorary doctorate degrees, Rickey built a stellar career as an artist, author, and professor of art in the U.S. and abroad.

This portion of Innovation is sponsored by 1st Source Bank, AM General, Indiana Michigan Power, Teachers Credit Union and the Florence V. Carroll Charitable Trust Foundation.

      I have been thirsting for a Rickey exhibition in the general Michigan area for some time since the Pyramid Hills event was canceled. I am sure that it will be great!
