Richard Serra: Notebooks Vol. 1 Details
About the Author Richard Serra was born in San Francisco in 1939. While in college he supported himself by working in steel mills. His work is famous for a physicality compounded by breathtaking size and weight and has been exhibited extensively throughout the world. He has created numerous permanent site-specific sculptures in public and private venues. Serra lives in New York and Nova Scotia. Steidl has previously published the two collaborations between Richard Serra and Dirk Reinartz, Afangar and Te Tuhirangi Contour, and two of Serra's books, Sculpture 1985-1998 and Torqued Spirals, Toruses and Spheres.

Reviews
This is a beautiful limited edition that has facsimile reproductions of five Note/Sketch-books created by Serra. The books are so well done that you feel like the you are getting your hands dirty from the charcoal used by Serra. I enjoy seeing the progression of drawing to drawing. You can follow Serra's change in perpsective, etc. The Notebooks provide insight as to the workings of a great creative mind. This is much more interesting than simply reading about the sculptor's approach.If one collects work by Serra, Notebooks should be in his or her Library. It's pricey for the average person. I was fortunate and received the Notebooks as a gift from a friend.
