Description

Throughout his career, the renown American sculptor Richard Serra has kept a large number of notebooks which by now fill an entire library in his studio. Contained within them are delicate sketches of his travels, of landscapes, architecture and of other ideas, some of which the artist developed into mature sculptures and drawings. Serra has personally selected three of his notebooks, two of which made in Iceland in 1989 and a very recent one from Qatar, which are reproduced here in facsimile.
