imagine… - Season 11 Episode 10 Richard Serra: Man of Steel
5.5050 minutes
Sculptor and giant of modern art Richard Serra discusses his extraordinary life and work.
A creator of enormous, immediately identifiable steel sculptures that both terrify and mesmerise, Serra believes that each viewer creates the sculpture for themselves by being within it.
To this end, a Japanese family are reminded of the Temples of Kyoto, a Londoner finds sanctuary in the Serra near Liverpool Street station, and most movingly, a Holocaust survivor sees one piece as a wall separating the living from the dead.
Contributors include Chuck Close, Philip Glass and Glenn D Lowry, Director of MoMA.
