Richard Serra

This sculpture is created by Richard Serra. This was installed in 1987 in London. Serra was an American artist that lives in New York. An interesting fact is that some of his work is actually in the Dia Beacon, across the Hudson river. This sculpture known as the Fulcrum was made out of weathering steel. I chose this sculpture and picture because of it's size. It is huge compared the the lady in standing next to it. I also enjoy the color of the steel and how it is rusting a bit. Serra's wok allowed you to walk around it, inside it, so you could get the full experience of the sculpture. I could not even think of how he was able to place these massive sheets of steel around each other.
