Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

Limited edition of 1050 boxed sets. Signed and numbered by Richard Serra.

Richard Serra’s reputation as one of the great sculptors of our time is well known, yet the role of sketches in his working practice is not known. This suite of books will change that. Serra keeps a large library of notebooks from throughout his career in his studio, hundreds in total. Contained within them are delicate sketches of his travels, of landscapes, architecture and of other ideas, some of which the artist developed into mature sculptures and drawings. Serra has personally selected five of these precious notebooks, which are reproduced here in facsimile.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Richard Serra (1938–2024) was one of the most celebrated artists in postwar America. Since the 1960s Serra exhibited extensively throughout the world, transforming museums, public spaces and even entire landscapes with his monumental abstract sculptures. Working primarily with steel, his site-specific creations in both North America and Europe engage viewers with their surroundings in new, profound ways. Serra’s books at Steidl include Sculpture 1985–1998 (1999), The Matter of Time (2005), Te Tuhirangi Contour (2005), Notebooks (2011), Early Work (2014), Vertical and Horizontal Reversals (2015) and Forged Steel (2016).
