George Rickey’s Four Lines Oblique Gyratory – Square IV is a study in opposition: his forms are simple and orderly, yet their movement is complex and spontaneous; they are strong enough to withstand forceful winds yet light enough to be moved by the slightest breeze.
Commissioned by Henry Segerstrom in 1973, Four Lines Oblique Gyratory – Square IV uses air currents to move the perfectly balanced, 24-foot-high kinetic sculpture. Elegantly understated and easy to miss because of its thin blades and reflective quality, the sculpture constantly changes its composition with the slightest force of nature.
Four Lines is located at the Center Tower on Town Center Drive.
