Gagosian Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of new works on paper
by Richard Serra. Collectively titled Line Drawings, these works were made in
Cape Breton, Nova Scotia beginning in late 2000 and continuing over five
distinct work periods until the summer of 2002.
The drawings are created using a stylus on the reverse side of the paper that
is laid over a pool of melted paintstick. "No direct drawing is done on the front
of the paper. I don't see the drawing I am making until the paper is pulled off
the floor and turned over - I have used various means over the years to avoid
known solutions. In this series of line drawings the process is more important
to me than analyzing and placing a line in relation to other lines."
Richard Serra
A fully illustrated catalogue including an essay by Richard Serra will
accompany the exhibition.
Opening reception: Saturday, September 14, 2002, 6 - 8 PM
Gagosian Gallery 555 West 24th Street New York NY 10011
