Richard Serra: Six Large Drawings

An exhibition of six significant drawings by American artist Richard Serra (1938–2024).

Known for his large-scale, site-specific sculptures, Serra consistently produced drawings throughout his career. Beginning in 1971, the artist employed black paintstick (compressed oil paint, wax, and pigment) to create these works. Six Large Drawings is the last exhibition conceived by the artist during his lifetime. Reflecting a considered installation across both floors of the gallery, the presentation includes two of Serra’s large-scale diptychs from the early 1990s, two works from his series of Greenpoint Rounds (begun in 2009), and two multipanel Rift drawings (begun in 2011).
