Richard Serra
Gagosian Gallery, Paris
Large Drawings. An exhibition introducing two new series of work by Serra July and Rifts. This is his first major drawing exhibition in Paris since 1995.
Drawing provides a space, a place for me to go to where I can concentrate on an activity that is
satisfying in and of itself.
Richard Serra
Gagosian Gallery is pleased to present “Drawings,” an exhibition introducing two new series of work
by Richard Serra, July and Rifts. This is his first major drawing exhibition in Paris since 1995.
Richard Serra was born in San Francisco in 1938. His groundbreaking bodies of work in both
sculpture and drawing have been celebrated with major retrospectives at The Museum of Modern
Art, “Richard Serra Sculpture Forty Years,” (2007) and “Richard Serra/Sculpture,” (1986).
“Richard
Serra Drawings: Work Comes Out of Work” was presented at the Kunsthaus Bregenz in 2008. He has
produced large-scale, site-specific sculptures for architectural, urban and landscape settings
spanning the globe, from Iceland to New Zealand. In addition to the eight-part permanent installation
The Matter of Time, conceived for the Guggenheim Bilbao in 2005, Serra presented Promenade for
MONUMENTA at the Grand Palais in Paris in 2008. “Richard Serra Drawings: A Retrospective”
opened at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in 2010, and is currently on view at San Francisco
Museum of Modern Art. It will travel to The Menil Collection, Houston in 2012.
