"The intellectual power of Richard Serra's work verges on the infinite." ~ The Art Diva of PaintingsToGo.com
Born in 1939, Richard Serra is one of the most significant artists of his generation. His groundbreaking sculpture explores the exchange between artwork, site, and viewer. He has produced unparalleled large-scale, site-specific sculptures for architectural, urban and landscape settings. In the summer of 2008, he conceived Promenade, a course of five steel sculptural elements towering seventeen metres, for MONUMENTA at the Grand Palais in Paris.
Other recent projects include the eight-part permanent installation The Matter of Time at the Guggenheim Bilbao (2005) and a survey exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art (2007). Work comes out of work, an exhibition of works on paper 1989-2008, was presented last yeat at the Kunsthaus Bregenz, Austria. The exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue with an essay by Kate Nesin. For further information, please contact the gallery at +44.20.7841.9960
