Euskaraz irakurri: Richard Serra statuar eskultorea zendu da

The American sculptor Richard Serra (1938-2024) died this Tuesday at his home in New York at the age of 85 due to pneumonia, as reported by his lawyer John Silberman to ‘The New York Times’ newspaper.

Serra, who created sculptures using massive, rusty-looking Corten steel walls that transformed museums and public spaces, was known for creations designed not just to be observed, but to be experienced. Among his creations, his sculptural group of eight elements ‘The Matter of Time’ stands out, which is located on the ground floor of the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao.

The Bilbao museum has mourned the loss of the artist, whose “monumental works remodeled our perceptions of space and form.”

There are also works by the American artist in Vitoria-Gasteiz, outside the Artium, and in San Sebastián, in the Miramar palace. The Public University of Navarra awarded Serra an honorary doctorate in 2009.

In 2006, the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid announced that the sculpture that this author had designed for the inauguration of the center in 1986, ‘Equal-Parallel-Guernica-Bengasi’, weighing 36 tons, “had been lost.” Serra made a duplicate free of charge that has been on public display in his permanent collection since 2009. This strange event is the starting point of the novel “Masterpiece”, by the Galician writer Juan Tallón.
