Richard Serra is an American minimalist sculptor. Considered one of the best living sculptors, Serra and abstraction have always been associated and he is well known for his minimalist large-scale works of sheet metal. His outdoor sculptures have an initial process of oxidation and the color remains more or less stable over time.

One of his more notable works is this mammoth sculpture, Snake, a trio of steel blades that create a curved path. It is permanently located in the largest gallery of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao. In 2005, the museum mounted eight of Serra's sculptures to create a collection entitled The Matter of Time, and Snake has now become an addition to that collection.

I had never previously written about sculptures before, but I find Richard Serra's work really inspiring and powerful. And if you enjoy this you can also check another of Serra's posts.
