| Biography |
|
Born in San Francisco on November 2, 1939, Richard Serra studied at Yale University between
1961 and 1964, where he received his B.F.A. and M.F.A. He then spent two years traveling in
Europe before settling in New York City, where he continues to live
and work. In the following year, he began showing in museums and galleries in New York, and
since then has exhibited extensively throughout the world, including a 1986
retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. In addition, Serra has created
a number of site-specific sculptures in public and private venues in both North America and
Europe.
