Albany Airport sighting

Don Burgio had another George Rickey sighting at the Albany Airport while returning from Commencement 2026 in Troy.

Four Triangles Hanging
George W. Rickey (1907-2002)
Stainless steel
1974

George Rickey was one of the world’s foremost kinetic sculptors. His work consists of tenuously balanced geometric steel constructions which combine linear elements and geometric forms moved by air currents and gravity. The artist’s primary interest was in the fluctuating relationships of these forms in shaping the space around them, rather than in the shapes themselves.

Rickey’s work is still represented in major museums throughout the world. Four Triangles Hanging was previously exhibited at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, in 1979 and the Worcester Art Museum, in 1983.

From 1960 until 2002, Rickey lived and worked in East Chatham, New York.
