Richard Serra (°1939)
1939 Born in San Francisco
Lives and works in New York and Nova Scotia
1957-1961 BA in English literature at the University of California at Berkeley and at Santa Barbara.
While at Santa Barbara, he studied art with Howard Warshaw and Rico Lebrun.
During this time, he began working in steel mills in order to support himself.
1961-1964 graduated from Yale University of Art and Architecture with both a BFA and an MFA.
Receiving a Yale Traveling Fellowship, he spent a year in Paris, followed by a year in Florence funded by a Fullbright grant.
1960s Serra’s early work focused on the industrial materials that he had worked with as a youth in West Coast steel mills and shipyards: steel and lead.
1966 first use of rubber, fiberglass
1968 first use of lead, COR-TEN-steel
“Hand Catching Lead” was Serra's first film and features a single shot of a hand in an attempt to repeatedly catch chunks of material dropped from the top of the frame.
1969 one of the four performers in the premiere of the Steve Reich piece Pendulum Music at the Whitney Museum of American Art
1971 large-scale drawings on paper using various techniques. His drawing material is the paintstick, a wax-like grease crayon. Serra melts several paintsticks to form large pigment blocks.
1973 short film "Television Delivers People", a critique of the corporate mass media with elevator music as the soundtrack
1974 In the film “Boomerang” , Serra taped Nancy Holt as she talks and hears her words played back to her after they have been delayed electronically.
1981 installed “Tilted Arc”, a gently curved, 3.5 meter high arc of rusting mild steel in the Federal Plaza in New York City
1996-1999 series of “Torqued Ellipses”
2002 Serra appears in Matthew Barney's film Cremaster 3 as Hiram Abiff ("the architect"), and later as himself in the climactic The Order section – the only part of a Cremaster film
