I am doing some research for my ART 307 Art Appreciation class and this is part of my assignment. Thanks you for providing the public with this magnificent piece of work.
if you want to experience new angles everytime you turn your head, just go to a place that has life in it! Having different angles does not make this a work of art, the artist's insanity makes the work of art. If he had the immense strength to imaginate this, this, this very hard curve (?) and put it in a museum by convincing one or tow of his friends, good for him! at least he is enjoying it. And YOU are wasting your time wondering about it. Just accept it! There it is, and here you are.
It's technically astounding for a start, there is no other form on this planet like it. When they constructed it a huge piece fell over, imagine welding all that together. Look at the angles on it. He's the don in my opinion he has some refreshing opinions on art and life in general. peace.
This video unfortunately cannot convey what this piece is about.
I unhesitatingly -- and unapologetically -- say that seeing this, and the accompanying sculptures, in real life, as I did in 2007, would silence all skeptical statements, such as those made in the comments here, to meaningless trivialities.
I love modern sculpture but hate Serra. His work is as bad as it seems. It is as ugly a waste of space. In fact, this is an artistic definition of wasted resource.
Those are sculptures? I mean seriously??? Carpeaux, Michelangelo, Donatello and Rodin they are sculptors this guy is just construction worker or something, there is no real skill in those!
Get your head out of pre-20th century art. You can't compare Modern art with other forms of art past because they aren't even on the same plane. More importantly all those people you listed only made work for some idealized "beauty," how shallow can that be? When you grow a soul then you can understand Modern art, until then stick to your dry dead "masters."
Well, according to any Art 101 class Brown is a HEAVY color, which makes the pieces more physical and organic. If that sounded like I was talking down to you then my message was successfully conveyed.
Dear Richard Serra, It was a great pleasure to see and to be a part of the Band. DIA,Beacon,NY walking along the path of the Band was a spiritual experience as an Avangard Voyage. I hope you have noticed that the shadow of the factory windows were giving a different aspect as if an opening to a extra demension. It was a shame we are not allowed taking pictures in there. Voila~ I found myself...I was the motive along the existance of the Band. Tremendous work! Love your Braveness. Thank you.
Dear Richard Serra, it was a great pleasure walking along the path in your art work world along the band. Yesterday At DIA, Beacon NY. I found the shape of shadows on the band from the windows around 5:00PM were giving total different aspect. I hope you have noticed it. It's a shame we are not allowed taking pictures. Ah~I enjoyed being a part of happening, moreover, Voila~I was the motive to existance of the Band. love your work!!!!!!Thank you.
These French people are so stupid.... "theMaxxy" i bet he's french. These are the people that go to museums and touch the art work with their oily hands. The same people that go to museums but dont understand what they're looking at, they just go to for amusement. Well next time you want amusement go to the petting zoo and you can touch all you want. And maybe you can understand animals better. It is a beatiful sight to see in person.
Brilliant! Thank You U-Tube! I have seen Serra's amazing work in Bilbao and you REALLY have to see it, and be in it to appreciate it. I know it looks a little simple at first, but it is really quite amazing. I promise you that you have never experienced anything quite like this before.
The work redefines the traditional perspective of not only time and space; it takes time and space and shapes it as an experience where the human being is forced to see himself as something utterly different (and not all that important) than perhaps the center of the universe, where humanity's gravitas is ephemeral. Bravo.
No, you couldn't design it in 3 minutes, and you didn't.
I recommend you have a look at the ongoing cultural dialogue on nonobjective art. Almost all of you are recycling a hundred year old dead argument. Honestly; it makes you look childish.
@SigmaSixxx You are right, it would be impossible to design this in 3 minutes. Unless you are dead. I believe 2,5 seconds would be the most anyone would need to design such a thing.

I would love to see this in an outdoor setting. Like maybe in a park? Waves and curves on green grass - nice visual contrast with the sky above. Wow!

You guys are all idiots who haven't even been to one of his exhibitions.
You have to experience it in real life to appreciate how magnificent it is.
