BBC One - imagine..., Autumn 2008, Richard Serra: Man of Steel

Steel sculptor Richard Serra discusses his extraordinary life and work.

Sculptor Richard Serra, a creator of enormous, immediately identifiable steel sculptures that both terrify and mesmerise, discusses his extraordinary life and work.

Sculptor and giant of modern art Richard Serra discusses his extraordinary life and work. 

A creator of enormous, immediately identifiable steel sculptures that both terrify and mesmerise, Serra believes that each viewer creates the sculpture for themselves by being within it. 

To this end, a Japanese family are reminded of the Temples of Kyoto, a Londoner finds sanctuary in the Serra near Liverpool Street station, and most movingly, a Holocaust survivor sees one piece as a wall separating the living from the dead. 

Contributors include Chuck Close, Philip Glass and Glenn D Lowry, Director of MoMA.
