Richard Serra, a famous artist known for his giant and unusual sculptures, died at 85 years old. He was a very respected artist in the United States.
Serra mostly used steel to create his art. He would bend the steel into different shapes and sometimes let it rust to give it a special orange color. His sculptures were huge and meant to be walked around and explored, not just looked at from a distance. He would often create them for specific places, like museums or parks.
Serra’s work changed the way people think about art and space. Some of his most famous pieces include “Tilted Arc” in New York City and “Te Tuhirangi Contour” in New Zealand.
Serra’s sculptures can be found in many places around the world, both indoors and outdoors, in cities and in the countryside. He also created art for museums and other buildings.
Serra won many awards for his art, including a National Arts Award in the United States and an honor from France called the Legion of Honour.
