Excerpt from wall label, for the exhibition “The Unexpected Encounters of Looking Again,” November 28 - March 15, 2007:
Richard Serra is known for his use of industrial materials, especially steel, for his large scale sculptures. Du Common, a work on paper, embodies Serra’s characteristic bold forms though on a much smaller scale and with an entirely different set of materials. The piece retains an emphasis on shape and movement that can be seen in Serra’s site specific works as well. The majority of Serra’s large sculptures are precarious - often balanced or leaning, creating a tension or sense of danger between the object and the viewer. Du Common maintains some of the tension of an object potentially in motion as Serra has placed the large triangular swath in space without a solid ground. - Rebecca Karp (M.A. '08)
