Synopsis
Torqued Spirals, Toruses and Spheres inaugurates Richard Serra's recent experimentations with new sculptural shapes and forms. His single- and double-torqued ellipses, with their endlessly spiraling interior corridors, give the impression that your body is its own rollercoaster, one that runs not up and down but round and round. Spheroid and toroid shapes (new to Serra's sculptural vocabulary) lock together to create his first ever sculpture with an inaccessible interior volume. Photographed by Dirk Reinartz and with an essay by critic Hal Foster, this publication is essential for anyone interested in the progression of Serra's oeuvre.

About the Author
Richard Serra was born in San Francisco in 1939. While in college, he supported himself by working in steel mills. His work, which stems from Minimalist beginnings in the 1960s, and has been exhibited and permanently installed around the world, is famous for a physicality compounded by breathtaking size and weight. Serra lives in New York and Nova Scotia
Critic and scholar Hal Foster is the author of "The Return of the Real, Vision and Visuality", and "The Anti-Aesthetic: Essays on Postmodern Culture". He has held numerous editorial positions, including at "October", "Zone", "Art in America", and "Artforum", and is presently the Townsend Martin Class of 1917 Professor of Art and Archaeology at Princeton University.
