Reviews
Michelle White's book on Richard Serra (Menil Collection) was a delight for me not only because of the drawings showcased but also because of the artist's thoughts and ideas about art and his art specifically. Take a look at the book and if it entices you, buy it. I came back repeatedly to the drawings, reminiscent, for me, of some Motherwell work. The heavy black drawings are subtle, and monumental. The artist's ideas are also monumental, but it was interesting to read about his consideration of the subtleties of the edge, how it relates to sculpture and drawing and where he became aware of it.Well worth owning if you are a fan.
