Richard Serra, who set out to become a painter but instead became one of his era’s greatest sculptors, inventing monumental environments of immense tilting corridors, ellipses & spirals of steel that gave the medium a new abstract grandeur & a new physical intimacy, died of pneumonia on Tues at his home in Orient, NY, on the North Fork of Long Island.
#RichardSerra said his work required a lot of “walking & looking” & was “viewer-centered”: Its meanings were to be arrived at by individual exploration & reflection.
