This book is concerned exclusively with the early indoor sculptures from the first twenty-five years of George Rickey's output. With three hundred and eighty-two color and black & white photographs covering the artist's early innovations, we get an intimate and complete picture of his artistic diversity. This book lays a firm foundation to an understanding of Rickey's creative intentions, and carefully categorizes the works into thirty-eight stylistically diverse chapters.
