A studious view of Richard Serra's recently premiered forged steel sculpture and new drawings using his trademark paintstick technique
"Enigmatic, arresting, audacious: Richard Serra now and forever" - The Brooklyn Rail
Notions of gravity, density, materiality, and space emerge as major forces behind Richard Serra's hugely successful body of work. Serra's steel sculptures are held in major collections internationally, and his drawings assert themselves as abstract victories. Through the use of black paintstick-a combination of oil paint, wax, and pigment to which he has been faithful since 1971-Serra's drawings present a sense of heaviness through both composition and utilized media. 2022, the artist's largest single forged round to date, investigates properties of weight and scale.
While the exhibition allowed viewers to encounter Serra's immense column and inky drawings in relation to their own space and bodies, the catalogue is a venue for intimate engagement with Serra's works through stunning reproductions.
