Transversal I
Richard Serra's *Transversal I* is a commanding etching on wove paper that exemplifies the artist's exploration of weight, mass, and raw physicality through printmaking. Dense, heavily worked black marks fill the sheet with an intense, almost sculptural presence, reflecting Serra's signature interest in the properties of materials and the force of mark-making. The full sheet composition emphasizes the work's bold, uncompromising character, bridging the monumental scale of his steel sculptures with the intimacy of works on paper.
