Description: numbered 1/3 stainless steel Executed in 1978. "I had to develop a language, but what was I going to say with it? I did not want merely to set static art in motion, nor to describe the dynamic world around me in a series of moving images. I wanted the whole range of movement itself at my disposal, not in order to describe the world around me, but to be itself, performing in a world of its own'' (George Rickey, East Chatam, New York, 1985 as quoted in the Exhibition catalogue for George Rickey in South Bend, Southbend, 1985, p. 9).

Provenance: Acquired by the present owner directly from the artist in 1982
