Richard Serra (1938–2024) was one of the most celebrated artists in postwar America. Since the 1960s Serra exhibited extensively throughout the world, transforming museums, public spaces and even entire landscapes with his monumental abstract sculptures. Working primarily with steel, his site-specific creations in both North America and Europe engage viewers with their surroundings in new, profound ways. Serra’s books at Steidl include Sculpture 1985–1998 (1999), The Matter of Time (2005), Te Tuhirangi Contour (2005), Notebooks (2011), Early Work (2014), Vertical and Horizontal Reversals (2015) and Forged Steel (2016).
