Dear Tom,
I collect George Rickey Sculptures. I saw by chance your search for this particular sculpture.
Though I do not know where the "Chrinitoid" is, it is very likely that the office manager for the George Rickey Workshop , Birgit , ( pronounced Beergit ) will know where it is. Since the work is very large it is likely at a public instution ( like an art museum ). George sold alot of works in Europe, so this particular work could be anywhere! If it is in a public setting I'm sure that she will provide you with it's location. She may have to research it for you.
Birgit can be reached at The Rickey Workshop at 518-794-7194. I believe that she works Tuesdays through Fridays.
Good Luck,
Please let me know if you find it.
Best Regards,

Bob Hamilton

Tom,

I too have missed the presence of the Chrinitoid at RPI, and I note its absence on every return trip (I was class of 1984, CompSci). Today I saw a picture of some other sculpture online and thought of the Chrinitoid and once again plugged it into Google, but this time I found your page and the indication that it had been found! Now if I ever make it to Zurich I will definitely have to visit it. Thanks for locating it!

Tom,

Let me first say THANK YOU for finding the Chrin. I've been looking for it for years now.

Also, thanks for the links ... (ps. my last name is "Staton", not "Stanton"). The "70's photo" of the Chrinitoid is one I took in 1983 or 1984. I am rescanning my old slides (I recently got a Coolscan V ED) and I'll send you the best shots of the Chrin I have.

Keep up the good work!

I found your page on a web search for "Two Rectangles Vertical Gyratory Up"
- I also remember the Chrinitoid from my years at RPI (74-82), and was talking with a guy I was in school with about it this evening. What brought the topic up is that Princeton (who RPI plays in hockey tomorrow) has a Rickey sculpture on campus, and I had spotted it on a tour there last summer.

The child we were making college tours for is now a freshman at RPI...

I remember it from 71-75. In Switzerland? Not likely to be there soon.
They do have a penchant for keeping things in good repair there, so of all places on earth for a kinetic sculpture of this type - this may well be chritinoidal nirvana.
