Norman Tuck (O.K. Harris, 469 W Broadway):

 

Large, motor-propelled structures slowly revolve, making shape, design and movement a thing of austere magic. Going quite beyond cleverness, these rotating sculptures offer understatement and a certain nobility, their gesture and thrust transcending the gadgetry that this post-Tinguely genre so often elicits. Tuck understands the sequential property of movement, and fuses its byproduct to materials that give it substance and meaning. Thus two spinning-wheel-like structures shaped in wood suggest the functional, as does a red painted metal pipe work, upon and inside of which one imagines the games of children. A silent sense of restraint is also present in these extremely handsome works. They should look and operate most stunningly in the out of doors.
