American sculptor Richard Serra 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.
Serra started making prints in 1972 with the Los Angeles-based print workshop and studio, Gemini G.E.L. (Graphic Editions Limited). Known for innovation and a willingness to experiment, Gemini earned a reputation as a welcoming place for all artists—even those who had no experience with printmaking.
T.E. Double Causality and T.E. Which Way Which Way? (both 2001) were inspired by Serra’s responses—visceral, not literal—to aerial views of his own sculptures. Human (yet overwhelming) in scale, they exude a brute, blunt force that is felt before seen. Their forms feel branded, embedded; collisions that have turned paper to stone. And they’re in the process of becoming—somewhere among footprint, symbol, and pictograph; painting, carving, and calligraphy.
