Richard Serra

Vesturey III (G. 1553)

Richard Serra's "Vesturey III (G. 1553)" is a monumental etching and aquatint that exemplifies the artist's exploration of scale and materiality through the printmaking medium. Executed on Fabriano Murillo paper, the full sheet work demonstrates Serra's characteristic use of gestural, abstract forms rendered through rich tonal variations achieved via aquatint. The print reflects Serra's broader investigation into how large scale and surface texture can create spatial and sensory experiences within the traditionally intimate format of works on paper.
