Meet Richard Serra.......for further info read the article below :)

Richard Serra´s work impressed me deeply, as I was doing my internship at Dia: Beacon museum. Perceiving an art piece not only with the eyes, but also with your body, as you move in and around the pieces is pure ecstasy.


"What interests me is the opportunity for all of us to become something different from what we are, by constructing spaces that contribute something to the experience of who we are." - Richard Serra 

Serra was born in San Francisco and he went on to study English literature at the University of California, Berkeley and later at the University of California, Santa Barbara between 1957 and 1961. He then studied fine art  at Yale University between 1961 and 1964. While on the West Coast, he helped support himself by working in steel mills, which was to have a strong influence on his later work.
