Vernissages | NYC, Richard Serra at Gagosian Gallery

Serra Goes Flat

After years (decades) of flowing curves, Sculptor Richard Serra embraces a new geometry in his latest exhibit at the Gagosian gallery, West 24th Street, New York.

Vernissages | Richard Serra "Junction / Cycle"

"Junction / Cycle" , Richard Serra's latest installation at Gagosian West is another walking meditation on space and geometry. To understand the scale see the dimension of the walkthrough sculptures:
Junction (2011): 13’ 11/2”x 75’ 1/2" x 49’ 15/16” (4 x 22.9 x 15.2 m)
Cycle (2010): 14’ 1” x 57’ 6 1/2” x 55’ 8” (4.3 x 17.5 x 17 m)
Although the heavy, not sustainable, steel seems to defy our design efforts in the search of light and flexible materials, the exhibition is truly powerful and enjoyable. Not to be missed.
