This artwork is called 7 and it is 80 feet high. This sculpture is located in Qatar and it is the tallest piece of artwork Serra has ever made. This is also his first sculpture being presented in the Middle East. It was made in December 2011 and it is resting on a man-made plaza which is 250 feet into the harbor. This sculpture is in a hexagonal shape and he built this sculpture due to his friend I.M. Pei recommending Serra to build it. Pei wanted this piece of artwork in his museum. This sculpture was actually supposed to be 8 sided and around 66 feet. What is truly incredible about this piece is that individuals are allowed to walk through it and look up at the sky above.
