File Under... American Art (or maybe Colossi)



I saw Richard Serra's "Blind Spot" and "Open Ended" at Gagosian Gallery yesterday. If you're in New York City, please go look at it. In my opinion, Richard Serra is the greatest living American artist. His work is not only beautiful, and meaningful, but it speaks to its audience in a visceral way. It's huge, powerful, elegant, and when you stand near it it seems to affect gravity and time in a way that is physically scary. His work is titanic, and American, but communicates on a level beyond art - its almost like seeing a natural phenomenon. I love it.
