Summaries and Customer Reviews are supplied by Amazon.com

Intended as a difinitive reference, the catalogue features essays by Lynne Cooke and art historians Benjamin H.D. Buchloh and John Rajchman. And because language is no less material for Serra than steel, it is fitting that the publication closes with an extensive interview conducted by McShine, allowing the artist's words their due weight.

Besides the extraordinary contents of the book, I was surprised by the correct and coherent service of delivery. Nice.

Interesting read but poor pictures

Customer Rating:

I saw the exhibit at the New York MOMA and it was moving and breathtaking. I purchased the book afterwards from Amazon and was pretty disappointed by the pictures in the text. The black and white photos do not capture the essence or intrinsic qualities of the steel that Serra used. Further, the picture quality itself was poor, often out of focus or just a cheap job on printing. Perhaps the author just wanted to focus on the bare forms of the works. But the quality of the pages and prints are not what I'd expect from an exhibit at the MOMA.

STUNNING	Customer Rating:
This book is a stunning collection of Richard Serra's work over the years. Truly an American master. I am always intrigued by the choice to do Serra in black and white, but it works. I consider this book an essential addition to my collection of art texts.

Complete Serra in black and white...

Customer Rating:

This is the catalogue for the current Serra exhibition at the Moma in NY. Divided into four chapters, the first being an interview of the artist, the second focusing on the early works, the third on "Serra's abstract thinking" and the fourth on his sculptures in landscapes, it is a high-quality survey of the work of possibly the greatest sculptor alive. The text is profound and scholarly, which makes this publication a valuable tool for art students and teachers. However, the quality of the reproductions, all in black and white, could have been better: color photographs would have enabled the reader to see the interplay between sculptures and light and, of course, the effect of rust, both elements which, I think, are important in Serra's works.
