“This film is about George
Rickey’s sculpture throughout the seasons on the grounds of
his studio in Upstate New York. It shows them in all kinds of weather,
in conversation with the surrounding landscape and light. It is
a film analogy to Rickey’s work, showing his poetry over time.
The film was done with the encouragement of the George Rickey Estate
and Foundation. It captures the body of outdoor works left at his
death on the grounds of his studio before they began to be dispersed
through exhibition and sales. It preserves the poetic harmony of
Rickey’s austere, light reflective geometric elements in conversation
with the ever-changing landscape surroundings of his studio.”
-Philip Rickey
In, George Rickey...Works, you will experience the moving work of George Rickey as never before… a great body of his work captured in the environment that inspired him. The simple truth concerning George Rickey’s sculpture is that photographs of his work can’t tell the story. His pieces were conceived with a notion of space, movement and a sense of time. In George Rickey...Works, the artist’s pieces are given an elegant treatment capturing their movement and environment and setting it to music. You explore the unique choreography of steel playing against the wind… catching the sun… reflecting in the water. Rickey’s pieces are seen as an infinitely evolving delight throughout the seasons. Private collectors and museums around the globe are acquiring the art presented in George Rickey...Works. The content of this film can never be duplicated.
