Richard Serra (b. 1939, San Francisco) is an American minimalist sculptor and artist known for working with large-scale assemblies of sheet metal. Serra was involved in the Process Art Movement. He is known for large site-specific sculptures that investigate spatial relationships, often challenging the viewer, forcing him or her into a participatory role while navigating the work. The artist’s works on paper operate similarly, albeit on a visual rather than physical level, pushing stark extremes of light and darkness to their respective extremes.
His work can be found in many international public and private collections, including the Museum of Modern Art and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. He lives and works in Tribeca in Manhattan, and on Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia.
