Videy Drawing VIII

1991

This monumental work from Richard Serra's Videy Drawing series exemplifies his mastery of painterly gesture and material weight. The dramatic diagonal composition features dense black paint-stick application against raw paper edges, creating a powerful tension between mass and void. Part of Serra's exploration of drawing as sculptural practice, this piece demonstrates his commitment to process and the physical properties of materials.
