Purchase options and add-ons

The art of Richard Serra is internationally admired for its powerful material qualities and its searching exploration of the relationship between the work, the viewer and the site. Indeed, since his emergence in the mid-1960s, Serra is widely understood to have radicalized and extended the very definition of sculpture. Quite simply the most complete view to date of the work of one of the most important artists of the last half-century, Richard Serra Sculpture: Forty Years offers a detailed visual presentation and documentation of Serra's entire career, from his early experiments with materials like rubber, neon and lead to the environmentally scaled steel works of recent years--including three monumental new sculptures created for The Museum of Modern Art's 2007 retrospective, for which this volume was produced. The book contains major scholarly essays on the artist's work by Benjamin Buchloh, Lynne Cooke and John Rajchman, as well as an interview with the artist by Kynaston McShine, the Museum's Chief Curator at Large.

It's an incredible book! Just as described.
Just as described, good quality for a used book. I love this book—it's a very detailed overview of Richard Serra's exhibition at MoMA, which I visited back in the summer of 2007. The quality of the photos is excellent. Some people complained in 2007 about the pictures being in black-and-white and grainy, but that feels perfect today in 2024. It makes the photography look like a piece of art on its own. A must-have book if you appreciate Richard Serra's work, who, sadly, passed away this year. I would buy from this seller again.

    Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2009
    Format: Hardcover
    It is a marvelous Richard Serra book. It was really very attractive for us that it's been published by MOMA where the retrospective of forty years of his works was exhibited. The book gives you the great chance of a total glance to his sculptures throughout years. It is the most precious book of our library now.

    I really recommend Richard Serra's Sculpture 40 years! I was in New York last year to see his retrospective at the moma and it is always nice to have a little reminder of those beautiful steel sculptures. The book gives you a great overview over his work, obviously concentrating on sculpture. Wonderful images and texts.

    This book is a stunning collection of Richard Serra's work over the years. Truly an American master. I am always intrigued by the choice to do Serra in black and white, but it works. I consider this book an essential addition to my collection of art texts.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Complete Serra in black and white...
    Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2007
    Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase
    This is the catalogue for the 2007 Serra exhibition at Moma in NY. Divided into four chapters, the first being an interview of the artist, the second focusing on the early works, the third on "Serra's abstract thinking" and the fourth on his sculptures in landscapes, it is a high-quality survey of the work of possibly the greatest sculptor alive.

    The text is profound and scholarly, which makes this publication a valuable tool for art students and teachers.

    However, the quality of the reproductions, all in black and white, could have been better: color photographs would have enabled the reader to see the interplay between sculptures and light and, of course, the effect of rust, both elements which, I think, are important in Serra's works.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting read but poor pictures
    Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2007
    Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase
    I saw the exhibit at the New York MOMA and it was moving and breathtaking. I purchased the book afterwards from Amazon and was pretty disappointed by the pictures in the text. The black and white photos do not capture the essence or intrinsic qualities of the steel that Serra used. Further, the picture quality itself was poor, often out of focus or just a cheap job on printing. Perhaps the author just wanted to focus on the bare forms of the works. But the quality of the pages and prints are not what I'd expect from an exhibit at the MOMA.
