St. Louis is Where to See Richard Serra, Lots

Thanks to Tyler Green in Modern Art Notes who gives a pithy description of how one can see Richard Serra's constructions all over Germany and The Netherlands, but answers the question of where in the US can more be seen. The answer is not far from my home city, Chicago, in St. Louis, Missouri.

My nephew and I travelled to the Guggenheim in Bilbao last April to see this ensemble.

Here's the link to the full article, The best American city for Richard Serras.

Major Serras abound across St. Louis, including:

Untitled (1968), an early cast rubber-and-liquitex piece;

Pulitzer Piece: Stepped Elevations (1970-71);

Joplin (1971);

Twain (1974-82);

To Encircle Base Plate Hexagram, Right Angles Inverted (1970); and

Joe (2000, above right, collection of the Pulitzer Foundation for the Arts).

That’s not just a lot of Serra, that’s a lot of great and important Serra.
