Richard Serra at The Met

I heard that the Richard Serra Exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art was worth seeing.  It is the first retrospective of his drawings.  "This major exhibition features some fifty works from the 1970s to the present, including many loans from European and American public and private collections as well as a selection of the artist's notebooks.  It ends with a site specific large-scale drawing, conceived specifically for The Metropolitan Museum of Art. "

There were some with black lines, some were triangles, and some had 2 rectangles.  In 2008 at Sotheby's in New York, 12-4-8, consisting of 3 steel plates sold for $1.65 million.  The exhibit noted that he does not see black as a color but as a weight, and he talks about his work in terms of physics and materials.  This is another area I need education because I couldn't "respond" to it.  But that's OK because there is a lot at The Met that I do respond to.  I've recently been drawn to Winslow Homer's seascapes.  So I spent some time with "Northeaster".
