Reuben Heyday Margolin
Reuben Heyday Margolin is an American-born artist and sculptor known for his mechanically driven kinetic sculptures of wave-forms.[1] Some of the sculptures are hand-cranked and small scale, while others are large, installed in large high-ceiling spaces, suspended from the ceiling.[2] His art also includes drawings, portraiture, traditional sculpture, and rickshaws.[3]
Education
