Remembering Richard Serra | What does it mean to be equal?

Groundbreaking sculptor Richard Serra passed away in March 2024. Here, MoMA’s Director, Glenn D. Lowry, pays tribute to him as “one of the greatest artists of the last century.” Lowry reflects on the many conversations he had with Serra over the years, and the timeless nature of "Equal." “He was a brilliant sculptor, but he was also a really deeply committed political activist and thought leader. Coming back to ‘Equal,’ I think of it as a catalyst for a kind of meditation on who we are, where we are, and why we are on this planet.” Subscribe for our latest videos, and invitations to live events: http://mo.ma/subscribe Explore our collection online: http://mo.ma/art Plan your visit in-person: http://mo.ma/visit Commit to art and ideas.
