Len Lye

Frame from a film in which Len Lye demonstrates how a bending saw influenced his scuplture.

Artist Len Lye was both an experimental film-maker and a kinetic sculptor, who produced sculptures that moved. He bequeathed his major works to the Govett-Brewster gallery in New Plymouth after it offered to build large-scale versions of his sculptures.
