Richard Serra has long been acclaimed for his large-scale, site-specific sculptures. But throughout his career, the foundation for the artist’s work has lain in the direct and intimate practice of drawing: ‘I like to draw,’ Serra has said, ‘It is an activity I rely on, a dependency of sorts.’ To coincide with ‘Richard Serra Drawings’ 16 Sepember — 17 December at Ordovas in London, Apollo and Ordovas were delighted to present a live-streamed discussion on Tuesday 12 October that explored how, for Serra, drawing has consistently been a way of thinking – of achieving a creative solitude and of testing ideas about scale, monumentality and perception.



Joined by speakers Pilar Ordovas, Martin Gayford and Isabel Seligman to discuss Serra’s own selection of 19 of his drawings in the context of his groundbreaking artistic achievements, examining the relationship between his drawing and sculpture, and exploring his sense of the viewer and of himself as an artist as well as the intense materiality of his works. The discussion is moderated by Apollo former editor Thomas Marks.
