Figure in the Garden - St. Michael, a Madonna, a giant, and a snake, all rendered in precise detail and finished in bold colors. Religious symbolism and references to mythology abound, yet any fixed meaning remains open and elusive.
This first retrospective of drawings by the artist Richard Serra ( born 1939 ) traces the last forty years of his activity in the medium - both as an independent art form and as an element of his sculptural practice. Serra's innovative ideas radically transformed the traditional understanding of drawing as two - dimensional representation on paper, expanding the practice through novel techniques, unusual media, monumental scale, and carefully constructed relationships of space.
