Richard Serra Sculpture: Forty Years

Richard Serra Sculpture: Forty Years UNITED STATES NEW YORK  •  Museum of Modern Art  •  Ongoing   In the early 1960s, sculptor Richard Serra (American, b. 1939) and the Minimalist artists of his generation turned to unconventional, industrial materials and began to accentuate the physical properties of their art. Over the years, Serra has expanded his spatial and temporal approach to sculpture and has focused primarily on large-scale work, including many site-specific works that engage with a particular architectural, urban, or landscape setting. This exhibition presents the artist's forty-year career, from his early experiments with materials such as rubber, neon, and lead to monumental late-career pieces, including Intersection II (1992) and Torqued Ellipse IV (1999), along with three new works that have never been exhibited before.
