Description
A Kinetico electric kinetic skeleton mantel clock designed by Gordon Bradt. This kinetic art piece is constructed from brass and copper-colored metal rods with exposed soldered joints. The skeletonized movement features six stylized human figures integrated into the mechanical assembly, appearing to operate the gears and levers of the clock. The dial is skeletonized with stylized hour and minute hands. A circular gold-toned label on the electric motor identifies the manufacturer as Kinetico, Inc., Eureka Springs, Arkansas, and includes the date 12-13 84. The clock is powered via an attached two-prong brown electrical cord. 10 x 8 x 5 inches. Location: 8C
