Richard Serra — Double Weight I
Richard Serra

Double Weight I

Richard Serra's *Double Weight I* is a commanding etching on wove paper that exemplifies the artist's exploration of mass, density, and raw physical presence. Deep, gestural black marks dominate the full sheet, conveying an overwhelming sense of weight and gravity through the sheer intensity of the ink. Serra's process-driven approach transforms the two-dimensional surface into an experience of force and materiality, echoing the monumental steel sculptures for which he is renowned.
