Three weeks ago, I visited Stanford University's Cantor Arts Center and was deeply impressed by an outdoor monumental steel sculpture "Sequence" by Richard Serra. Due to time constraint, I wasn't able to go inside the twirling spiral spaces formed by curved gigantic steel plates.
Last Friday, I was able to do just that and I was even more astonished, enchanted and enraptured. The most interesting aspect, besides its gigantic size and endless changing forms, is the ever changing interplays of colors, shades, shadows and lines. The warm autumnal sunlight gave it a particularly inviting tinta, in the natural environment, and an unexpected sensuality.
I wonder what it might
look like once it's moved to the new wing at SFMOMA. If it would be
held indoors, I'm afraid that some of the magic would be lost.
Therefore, try to see it, and walk around and through it before it
leaves Sanford.
Below are several pictures I took and video compilations:
