At the Galleries: Richard Serra

“I consider space to be a material. The articulation of space has come to take precedence over other concerns. I attempt to use sculptural form to make space distinct.”
– Richard Serra

An impossibly remarkable scene at the gagosian gallery, an evening spent immersed in richard serra’s junction/cycle installation, monumental, curved, continuous rusted steel plates in vibrant shades – bronze, burnt umber, tenné and martian mahogany – and stunning patterns, could not help but marvel at the scale [more than thirteen feet high] of the piece as a grand gesture, and the impossibility of viewing the whole of it from any angle creates a lovely, dynamic experience.
