Richard Serra, The Matter of Time

So my inspiration is creeping back slowly. I've been inspired enough to find something I like, though not certain that I'm inspired enough to write something brilliant or telling. What I know is that I greatly enjoy Serra's sculpture. He is considered a Post-Minimalist in his earlier work although his style has changed a lot since the 1960s. Most of his later work are on a massive scale (as you can see from the people in this shot). Because of this our interaction with the works is really the most important part of the experience. He really has succeeded in creating environments that we enter into when viewing his work, both physically and visually. And again, I think there is something really beautiful about the form of his pieces. The color of these sculptures is particularly captivating and I think it adds an element of warmth to what would otherwise be cold, impersonal steel.
