Richard serra

Richard Serra (1938–2024) was an influential American sculptor known for his monumental steel sculptures that transformed public spaces and challenged perceptions of balance, scale, and movement. A key figure in postminimalism and process art, Serra used industrial materials—especially weathered steel—to create works that invited physical interaction and spatial awareness. His notable pieces include Tilted Arc, The Matter of Time, and 7. With a background in literature and fine art, Serra brought intellectual rigor and material sensitivity to his practice, leaving a profound impact on contemporary sculpture.
