About the Item
This stunning rotating astrolabe is a gorgeous kinetic sculpture. The rare celestial orbit piece was crafted in Italy circa 1970. The six circles are made of Acrylic Lucite in a smoke gray color and stand on a frosted clear base. The six concentric circles that constitute this atomic astrolabe pivot on a different axis from the previous circle, thus creating thousands of possible combinations for a surprisingly and constantly different design. There is no visible maker's mark.

James "Jim" Hubbell (born 1931 in Mineola, New York is a visual artist, architect, sculptor, stained-glass designer and founder of the Ilan-Lael Foundation. He is best known for designing and building organic-style structures that have been referred to as Hobbit houses, including his sculptural home/compound in Julian, CA (outside of San Diego). A reverence for nature remains the basis of James Hubbell’s singular career, one that seamlessly integrates art, craft and architecture. Hubbell studied sculpture at Cranbrook Academy of Art and often worked with labor-intensive, ancient techniques like wrought iron and stained glass in a contemporary architectural context.
During the 1960s and 70s Hubbell’s work was included in the prestigious series of California Design exhibitions at the Pasadena Art Museum and the Arts of Southern California series at the Long Beach Museum of Art, as well as at the Museum of Contemporary Crafts in New York. His forged iron work was featured in Craft Horizons magazine...
