- Groundbreaking sculptor Richard Serra passed away in March 2024. Here, MoMA’s Director, Glenn D. Lowry, pays tribute to him as “one of the greatest artists of the last century.”
Lowry reflects on the many conversations he had with Serra over the years, and the timeless nature of "Equal."
“He was a brilliant sculptor, but he was also a really deeply committed political activist and thought leader. Coming back to ‘Equal,’ I think of it as a catalyst for a kind of meditation on who we are, where we are, and why we are on this planet.”

Every Serra installation I have ever experienced - indoors and outdoors - has moved me profoundly. A timeless Master of space and form!
Not sure if I would say "new shapes and new forms that had never been conceived of before in the history of the world" while talking about Equal, but Serra's work is indeed ethereal yet brutalist. I remember seeing Tilted Spheres in Toronto. It's a piece that engulfs the viewer and it plays with space and sound in a way I've never experienced before. I'm saddened by his passing, but glad that his art will continue his legacy
yeah he waxed it a bit
Well-done summary of Richard Serra, the artist
I AM Sad.... and breathless!.....
Sometime art pieces appear because, while many others had thought of the idea, found it lacking, and moved on to create something more interesting, someone eventually manages to get an investor to support the manifestation. Likely to occur in vulnerable locales such as NYC.
