Renowned American artist and sculptor Richard Serra passed away at the age of 85 at his residence in Long Island, New York. Serra, celebrated for his transformative large-scale outdoor artworks crafted from rusting steel and other pliable materials, left a lasting impact on the art world.
Originally from San Francisco, Serra initially pursued painting at Yale University before transitioning to sculpting in the 1960s, a shift inspired by his travels in Europe. Often referred to as the 'poet of iron,' Serra gained global recognition for his monumental steel structures, characterized by sweeping arcs, spirals, and ellipses, aligning closely with the minimalist art movement of the 1970s.
