The art of Richard Serra is internationally admired for its powerful material qualities and its searching exploration of the relationship between the work,the viewer, and the site. Indeed, since his emergence in the mid-1960s, Serra is widely understood to have radicalized and extended the very definition of sculpture. Simply the most complete view to date of the work of this preeminent figure in the art of our time, Richard Serra Sculpture: Forty Years offers a detailed presentation of his entire career, from his early experiments with materials like rubber,neon, and lead to the environmentally scaled steel works of recent years, including three monumental new sculptures created for the exhibition that this book accompanies.
