Lots of quality time this year with a favorite - Richard Serra…
I wish I had more time to post my thoughts and observations on these exhibitions… oh the waxified-paint, the strokes, the thickness… oh the rusty yellow residue, the slivers of light at the seams, the figured shadows… maybe later… but I really suggest going to see/experience the Serra’s on 24th Street for yourself :)

Drawing: A Retrospective at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, NYC - this past summer… more: nytimes

I also took a day trip/night to Dia:Beacon in July which has a large collection of Richard Serra sculptures and one large “drawing.” Absolutely worth the trip upstate along the Hudson River - it’s so beautiful!
