Children look at George Rhoadss Newtowns Daydream, installed in 2005, at the Clark Planetarium in Salt Lake City. Rhoads, a whimsical artist who created elaborate sculptures in which balls traveled seemingly random voyages along labyrinthine paths and set off the ringing of bells, the tinkling of chimes and the vibrating tones of xylophone keys, died on July 9, 2021, in Loudun, in western France. He was 95. Bob Mcguire/Rock Stream Studios via The New York Times.
