James Kalm sneaks his camera past the squadrons of guards to bring exclusive footage of this historical exhibition to the public. Richard Serra is universally acknowledged as one of our most influential sculptors. This exhibition, curated by Kynaston McShine, documents the evolving concepts that have impelled Serra's work. This show follows Serra's work from the Post-Minimalism and Process Art that garnered its initial attention, through the propped and balanced works, to his current practice involving huge plates of torqued oxidized steel. To truly experience these works requires the viewer to move through and around them, an experience that can't be simulated with still photography.
Cool. Saw Sequence and Band at the Serra retrospective at MOMA (2007), then saw them six months later in L.A. at the BCAM at LACMA (2008). Was better at MOMA. Terrible lighting at BCAM, too dark.

Thanks mate.....considering I can't be there to witness the works intrigue and beauty I appreciate your efforts. Gives a great sense of passage and scale. Also great to see the MOMA, it's atmosphere and lay out. I'll get there one day
