Richard Serra
Since the 1960s, Richard Serra (*1939 in San Francisco / USA, lives in New York and Nova Scotia / Canada) has been known primarily as a sculptor of monumental statues in outdoor spaces. To create his sculptures, he works with industrial materials such as lead and rubber, iron and steel. In this process, both the quality of the material and the relationship to space form central elements of his works. Together with Nancy Holt (*1938 in Worcester / USA, †2014 in New York), a pioneer of site-specific installation and the experimental moving image, a joint video work was created. In addition to works in the realm of land art and large-scale installations in public space, Holt experimented with photography and video, especially at the beginning of her career.
