Pol Bury

"Pol Bury exhibited with Vasarely's "kinetic plastics" show, as Calderr did also. Here, Pol Bury has used wooden balls connected to a motor by vibrating metal strips. The balls move at so unnoticeable a rate that their movement appears immaginary." 19th & 20th century art from collections of alumni & friends : inaugural exhibition, September 11 - November 8, 1970, Elvehjem Art Center (1970), p. 136.
