Cluster of Four Cubes

1992

George Rickey

Sculptor, American, 1907 - 2002

Four gleaming silver metal cubes are affixed to the top third of a tall pole with short arms like abstracted blossoms or tree limbs in this freestanding sculpture. The pole is planted in a grassy lawn and stands as tall as mature trees behind it. The smooth surface of the stainless steel appears streaked.
