7: Richard Serra


Richard Serra created his 80 foot sculpture "7" making it the tallest sculpture in his collection. It is constructed by seven steel plates and made to represent the scientific and spiritual aspects of the number seven in Islamic culture. It is expected that the color will change from orange to a dark uniformed shade due to oxidization. When walking into the sculpture, as you look up you are greeted by the sky and a symbolic heptagonal shape. It is a beautifully well crafted piece.
