I saw this in person it was amazing. Well I had to come back and say I saw this exhibit at the MOMA. It was one of the coolest exhibitions I ever went to.
I love these classic segments, but they made me think: Who are the artists of today? Who are the young up-and-comers? Sunday Morning used to feature stories about established artists and those who were on the cusp of greatness.
He has some wonderful installations that are so calming and peaceful. I’m sorry for his ill treatment for his piece in NY which included the odd sequence of acceptance and rejection. But a great artist does not uniformly make great pieces. If it wasn’t great, they should have rejected it in the first place, but they didn’t which is unfair to him. He’s probably had more than his fair share of criticisms given the enormous size of his pieces which are more likely to be seen in public. If paid for by the public, likely to inspire commentary.
Those detractors of Serra's work sound like yahoos. // // // Many years ago I saw Serra's work at what was then called the "Temporary Contemporary" (now The Geffen Contemporary) in Little Tokyo (central Los Angeles). Walking between the massive curved steel plates was an unforgettable experience. It awakened in me a great appreciation for large art installations that deal with the phenomenon of space and moving through it. In architecture Steven Holl is the architect most concerned with that experience. (see Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art)
The public’s and the government’s response to Serra’s piece in New York (the one that was destroyed) just reflects how miserably limited and ignorant most people’s response is to art. If it doesn’t represent something they can recognize and has been done a thousand times before, they instantly hate it and repudiate it. Humanity is pretty stupid and never wants to learn something new.

Such an incredible artist. RIP, Mr. Serra.

I love Richard Serra's art. It's majestic and it serves no purpose other than form itself.
Lovely
RIP
Love it!

Serra a Spaniard origins is decides artist after see the works of Spanish great painter; máster Velázquez.R.I.P
EXTREME pretentiousness here. Absolutely cynical garbage. I wish I could sell a bunch of rusty crap and act like it was genius
You can! But it's a lot of work. That work is part of what makes this rusty crap into fine art.
