Kinetic Sculpture for Sale
Kinetic art is art, regardless of medium, that contains motion that is perceptible to the viewer or whose visual impact depends on motion. Sculpture is particularly adapted to becoming a form of kinetic art due to its dimensional proportions. Kinetic sculpture can often work in exterior settings whereby the wind acts as impetus to the change of shape of the sculpture. The desired effect of the sculptor is to create a life-like moving object that appears to be animated as if by magic.
