Richard Serra — Even Level
Richard Serra

Even Level

1987

"Even Level" by Richard Serra is a monumental sculpture constructed from hot-rolled steel that exemplifies the artist's exploration of mass, weight, and spatial experience. The work demonstrates Serra's characteristic approach of using industrial materials to create an immersive environment that challenges viewers' perception of scale and their physical relationship to the artwork. Through its austere steel planes, the sculpture embodies Serra's commitment to minimalism and the phenomenological engagement between the viewer, the material, and the surrounding space.
