RICHARD SERRA

"I never thought I'd work with steel. I always thought it was the most traditional material you could use, and that if you used steel you had to acknowledge the tradition of sculpture. But at a certain point I realized that I knew more about steel than probably any artist who had worked with it, and why not use it? Artists who had used steel before did not deal with its tectonic potential, its weight, its compression, its mass, its stasis-that wasn't knowledge that was in the art world. It was in the worlds of engineering and technology, but not the art world. I'd put trusses together as a kid and I'd stuck rivets and I'd seen steel being rigged, so I had no fear of ordering a two-and-a-half-inch plate eight by eight feet that weighted six or seven tons."

Excerpted from a conversation with Kynaston McShine in Richard Serra: Sculpture: Forty Years, published by The Museum of Modern Art, New York.

Richard Serra was born in San Francisco in 1939 and received his BFA and MFA at Yale University. He has exhibited extensively in major museums and exhibitions throughout the world, and has created site-specific sculptures for both public and private venues in North America and Europe. His most recent projects include an exhibition at the Museo Archeologico and Piazza del Plebiscito in Naples (2004), and an eight-part permanent installation "The Matter of Time" at the Guggenheim Bilbao, which was inaugurated in 2005. Recent surveys include "Richard Serra Sculpture: Forty Years" at The Museum of Modern Art, New York (2007); and the drawing retrospective "Work comes out of work" at the Kunsthaus Bregenz (2008).
