"Richard Serra: A Legacy of Monumental Steel Sculptures"
Richard Serra, the influential American abstract sculptor known for his massive curved sheets of oxidised steel, has passed away at the age of 85. His groundbreaking works, such as The Matter of Time, transformed spaces and elicited physical reactions from viewers. Serra's career was marked by controversy, including the removal of his urban sculpture Tilted Arc, but he ultimately gained widespread acclaim for his heavy steel works that referenced the industrial age. Married to art historian Clara Weyergraf, Serra remained active as an artist into his 80s, leaving behind a lasting legacy in the world of sculpture.
