Tilted Spheres

In the early 1970s, Richard Serra began working with steel, the material that would define his influential artistic practice through the monumentality of his sculptures.

Serra’s large-scale works use sculptural forms to define spaces that engages the viewer with its environment or landscape.  

In 2007, photos of Titled Spheres were featured in the publication accompanying his major retrospective show at MoMA. This was the first time that a work from the GTAA’s art collection has been featured in an exhibition catalogue. MoMA described Serra as the preeminent artist “who has radicalized and extended the definition of sculpture” of our era.  Date: 2004 - Present
