JOSEPH BURLINI Bike Sculpture JOSEPH BURLINI (AMERICAN, 20TH CENTURY) Bicycle Metal Sculpture Circa 1979 Unsigned 3 feet high including wooden base About the artist: (Chicago Tribune 1993) TITLE: Sculpting Success. Joseph Burlini Brings Business And Fine Art Together November 21, 1993 After receiving a degree in industrial design in 1960 (he won the prestigious Palma-Knapp scholarship for design his senior year), Burlini spent six years designing toys for Sears Roebuck and Co. While he was at Sears, Burlini bought a blowtorch and began experimenting with sculpture. If he was ever known for a "look," it was during the 15-year span when he made kinetic do-nothing machines. Made up of wheels and rods and rudders and wings and tinkling, rotating things, with titles like "Flower Machine," "Rainbow Machine," "Circus Wagon" and "Flying Go Nowhere Machine," Burlini's machines were delightful and universally appealing. Exposure at art fairs, galleries and a 4,000-square-foot, one-man "Rockets to Rainbows" show at the Museum of Science and Industry in 1977 led to commissions from private collectors and corporations, including Borg-Warner, Ringling Brothers and Amoco.
