American sculptor Richard Serra (born 1939) is an accomplished printmaker, who has made over 200 printed works in a span of 45 years. Like his sculpture, Serra’s prints reflect his interest in process, the expansion of scale to monumental proportions, and the artist’s ingenuity in pushing the boundaries of traditional methods and techniques.
Drawn from the collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation, Richard Serra: Prints is a comprehensive retrospective of Serra’s work in printmaking, from his first lithographs in 1972, through his Reversals series of 2015. The exhibition provides viewers with a greater understanding of how Serra transitioned between methods (lithography, silkscreen, etching), experimented with materials and scale, and created works that lay bare the process of printmaking. Visitors to the exhibition can also see Serra's monumental Cor-Ten steel sculpture My Curves Are Not Mad (1987) in the Nasher Garden, as well as his Cor-Ten steel prop piece Inverted House of Cards (1969-70) in the gallery alongside Serra's prints.
