Richard Serra

American sculptor

Richard Serra by Julian Rose (Text by) This two-volume publication commemorates a trio of exhibitions by American artist Richard Serra. Shown simultaneously in 2019 at Gagosian in New York, the three exhibitions presented five new sculptures and more than twenty drawings by the artist, offering a rare opportunity to view these two aspects of Serra's practice together. Works featured in the publication include a series of new diptych and triptych drawings; four new works from Serra's Rounds series of forged-steel sculptures, each composed of multiple 50-ton elements of differing diameters and heights; and Reverse Curve, a sculpture measuring 99 feet long and 13 feet high that was originally conceived in 2005 and finally realized for the first time as part of Serra's 2019 exhibitions.

Richard Serra: Notebooks by Richard Serra Richard Serra's reputation as one of the great sculptors of our time is well known, yet the role of sketches in his working practice is not known. Serra keeps a large library of notebooks from throughout his career in his studio, hundreds in total. Contained within them are delicate sketches of his travels, of landscapes, architecture, and of other ideas, some of which the artist developed into mature sculptures and drawings. Serra has personally selected five of these precious notebooks, which are reproduced here in facsimile.

The Tilted Arc Controversy by Harriet Senie Harriet F. Senie explores the history of Tilted Arc, including its 1979 commission and the heated public hearings that eventually led to its removal in 1989. She examines the tactics of those opposed to the sculpture and the media's superficial and sensational coverage of the controversy, reframing the dialogue in terms of public art, public space, and public policy.
