Such weighty works radically transformed the spaces where they were installed and were often said to instil a physical reaction in their viewers. Serra was born in San Francisco in 1939 to a Russian-Jewish mother and a Spanish father, who fitted pipes in a shipyard. The young Serra was inspired by seeing a ship launched as a child and was encouraged to draw by his mother. He studied fine art at Yale alongside peers who included Chuck Close and his eventual first wife Nancy Graves — but was suspended for two weeks after pulling a prank on the visiting critic, artist Robert Rauschenberg, that involved bringing a live chicken into class.

In the 1960s, the young artist, who freshly graduated from Yale, tried his hand at painting, while financing his education by working in... His fascination with steel thus gained an artistic purpose - the artist tranlated the weight, density and gravity characteristics of this industrial material into plastic qualities. Radical, simple and austere, his pieces never intended to convey a political or social message about the context in which they were integrated. They represent their sole point reference. They conjure up mental experiences of the physical force of the world for the viewer.
They proudly rise up to the sky, all the while suffering from the wind, sand and sun. Steel then takes on hues of ochre, red, orange, brown and amber, in the manner of an alchemical canvas in constant evolution until it withers away. It was in 1969 that the artist turned to industrially manufactured Corten steel.
Richard Serra: The Steely-Eyed Sculptor
Mr. Serra, the best-known living sculptor in America, might seem out of step with our increasingly virtual world.

With works on view throughout the Museum and in The Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Sculpture Garden, Richard Serra Sculpture: Forty Years displays the extraordinary vision of this formidable artist, who has radicalized and extended the definition of sculpture.

Dress British and think Yiddish. And there was a fine bookstore devoted to stage plays on Broadway and some good used bookstores on Clark. Yet, in one of the higher brow neighborhoods in America, there were, basically, no good general bookstores in the 1980s or early 1990s. But then in the mid-1990s, suddenly there were book superstores and Amazon online.
They conjure up mental experiences of the physical force of the world for the viewer. They proudly rise up to the sky, all the while suffering from the wind, sand and sun. Steel then takes on hues of ochre, red, orange, brown and amber, in the manner of an alchemical canvas in constant evolution until it withers away. It was in 1969 that the artist turned to industrially manufactured Corten steel. The Qatari slabs were crafted in Germany and then shipped to Doha. There, they were turned into funerary monuments of the desert erected to the glory of mankind in all its fragility and omnipotence - a human embodiment of the Vulcan god, whose creations reach for the stars.
Without that person, there is no artwork. They surpass them, but still are nothing compared to the vast expanse of sand and of the star-filled sky.
Excellent early examples include Terminal, a 40ft trapezium comprised of four enormous sheets of rolled steel created for documenta VI 1977. Seen from the viewing gallery above, these eight enormous works of weathered steel curve, fold and torque with a fluidity that belies the supposed rigidity of their material, spiralling like pieces of card or ribbon. As with his Terminal sculpture, The Matter of Time demands a phenomenological approach and as such Serra has meticulously planned the position of each work in relation to one another to ensure that viewers move between them as he intended.

Скончавшийся скульптор был известен своими бескомпромиссностью и спорным характером. В последние годы жизни у него был диагностирован рак слезной железы, однако он отказался от операции по удалению глаза, рекомендованной врачами.
