Top Ten Books

Large-scale sculptor Richard Serra, who died in March 2024, achieved success as one of America's great artists for his colossal sculptures, often made from raw steel, with a sense of movement and flow that was uniquely his own. Although he began his career as a painter, he moved towards sculpture after visiting Velazquez’s “Las Meninas” at the Prado Museum in Madrid and bumping up against the limits of his own skill. As a sculptor his work invited close contact , pulling viewers between and around and through his giant installations. Serra curated this list of his ten favorite books to One Grand Books in 2016. 

Below are Richard Serra’s favorite books, available to purchase as a set or individually.
