Profile

Like Jerry Saltz said: Richard Serra’s sculptures are “a combination of cave walls, the circus’s coming to town, fortresses, flowers, and a force of nature.” We visited this landmark show ourselves, and yep–cave walls, flowers, it’s all there. Starting tonight, see five short, intimate films shot by Serra in the sixties and seventies that demonstrate just how these steely forces of nature came about. All the better to appreciate the glorious things themselves. — Tayt Harlin
