| book description |

â€œThe rhythm of the body moving through space has been the motivating source of most of my work.â€â€”Richard Serra Drawn from talks between celebrated artist Richard Serra and acclaimed art historian Hal Foster held over a fifteen-year period, this volume offers revelations into Serraâ€™s prolific six-decade career and the ideas that have informed his working practice. Conversations about SculptureÂ is both an intimate look at Serraâ€™s life and work, with candid reflections on personal moments of discovery, and a provocative examination of sculptural form from antiquity to today. Serra and Foster explore such subjects as the artistâ€™s work in steel mills as a young man; the impact of music, dance, and architecture on his art; the importance of materiality and site specificity to his aesthetic; the controversies and contradictions his work has faced; and his belief in sculpture as experience. They also discuss sources of inspirationâ€”from Donatello and Brancusi to Japanese gardens and Machu Picchuâ€”revealing a history of sculpture across time and culture through the eyes of one of the mediumâ€™s most brilliant figures. Introduced with an insightful preface by Foster, this probing dialogue is beautifully illustrated with duotone images that bring to life both Serra's work and his key commitments.
