As the focal point of numerous high-profile exhibitions, the
sculpture of Richard Serra (b. 1939) has drawn international
acclaim. Yet even those who have marveled at Serra's intellectually
rigorous and large works of sculpture may not be familiar with his
equally intriguing drawings. This handsome book brings together for
the first time Serra's drawn work, considering the artist's
investigation of medium as an activity both independent from and
linked to his pioneering sculptural practice. First working in ink,
charcoal, and lithographic crayon on paper, Serra originally used
drawing as a means to explore form and perceptual relations between
his sculpture and the viewer. Over time, his drawings underwent
significant shifts in concept, materials, and scale and became
fully realized and autonomous works of art. The grand, bold forms
he created with black paintstick in his monumental Installation
Drawings were designed to disrupt and complement existent spaces
and eventually began to occupy entire rooms. In the late 1980s,
Serra explored the tension of weight and gravity through layering,
and his most recent work experiments with surface effects, using
mesh screens as intermediaries between the gesture and the transfer
of pigment to paper. Distributed for The Menil Collection
