Drumming up new business
Together or apart, the Beatles are newsmakers. So there was predictably high interest in a work of art recently offered for sale by Zarach, a London furniture store, when people discovered that its creator was none other than Ringo Starr. Zarach calls the piece a kinetic sculpture and, thanks to mass production, prices it only £60-$144. It consists of a clear Perspex rectangular box with mercury-filled discs inside that wind down a zigzag course, then spiral upward to repeat an interminable trip (with the help of a small motor in the opaque-lit base). If his subsequent pieces are as well designed as this one, some critics are saying that Ringo, to paraphrase some lyrics he once sang, is going to be a big Starr in the world of kinetic art.
