Richard Serra was a sculptor who reshaped steel and our experience of space. His towering works, often steel giants, demanded engagement, forcing us to confront their scale and navigate their shadows.
Early on, his “Verb List” hinted at the dynamism that would define his career. From his explorations with materials to his mastery of steel, Serra pushed boundaries. His sculptures weren’t objects; they were dialogues, challenging the status quo and becoming integral parts of their environments.
Unafraid of controversy, Serra dared to bend steel to his will, coaxing these industrial giants into graceful curves. His work wasn’t meant to blend in; it was meant to make us stop, to feel.
Today, Serra’s legacy stretches across the globe. He leaves behind a world irrevocably altered by his artistic touch, a world where steel whispers and invites us in.
May his work continue to inspire and challenge for generations to come.
