Last days of Richard Serra at the Gagosian


Yesterday I went to the Gagosian Gallery, in Chelsea, where they are currently showing two new sculptures by Richard Serra and one of his paintings.

The sculptures, named Junction and Cycle are amazing. Richard Serra is one of my favorite living artists. I've seen a lot of his sculptures and I'm always struck by the genius of this guy. Most of the sculptures look alike and yet they feel completely different. Walking around them or "inside" them is like walking in a labyrinth. They are mysterious, peaceful, grandiose yet so simple.

Richard Serra has become more known for his huge elliptical sculptures, however, he is also a great painter. And the canvas shown in the gallery is splendid (see picture above). 

The exhibit will end next Saturday (11/26). So, if you have the opportunity, run to see it.
