In partnership with the George Rickey Foundation, The Hyde Collection presents George Rickey Across Time, an exhibition of American artist George Rickey (1907–2002), a pioneer of kinetic sculpture.
From elegant table-top sculptures to larger wall, floor, and ceiling-mounted pieces, George Rickey Across Time explores the multiple formal categories—lines, triangles, open or closed squares and rectangles, and circles—the artist explored over the course of four decades. Three outdoor works will be on view through Spring 2026 on The Hyde’s grounds, two on loan from the Rickey Foundation and one from The Hyde’s important Feibes & Schmitt gift. The exhibition also includes drawings, prints, and embossments in which Rickey worked out his sculptural language in two dimensions, as well as some early paintings—revealing Rickey’s evolution from 1930s modernism to his signature idiom in the 1960s and beyond.
George Rickey Across Time is organized by the George Rickey Foundation, Inc., and drawn from its collection. This showing is augmented with works from The Hyde Collection.
