Certainly statements like "Art is not democratic. It is not for the people" rankled many New Yorkers, even as artists and critics rose to Serra’s defense. It didn’t help that his art had, indirectly, killed someone (a rigger, crushed to death in the early seventies). Sculpture was supposed to be an object in a gallery, something to be politely circumnavigated; Serra’s art swallowed you whole.

the sculpture was a fan blowing into the corner of a room into a pile of styrofoam packing peanuts. the airflow kept the peanuts suspended in the air.

I don't have the issue, but I'm guessing it was Dan Steinhilber He's great!

yes!!!

wow, i never knew that about serra.

I DIED you DIED me

it's cool though, serra is one of my favorite artists.

yeah, it doesn't detract at all for me. weird, this styrofoam peanut guy sounds like a polar opposite to him.

a friend of mine worked as an art handler for a spell. he did the original installation of torqued ellipses at gagosian. he has a great story about putting it all together, the crew on break would whip quarters at the sculpture and watch them spin and shimmy a hundred feet or so.

wow

That plastic bag piece inflates and deflates... I saw it a couple years ago, but my favorite pieces by him so far (aside from the packing peanuts) have been a grid of duck sauce packets and a bunch of paint-soaked paint rollers mounted perpendicular to the wall. His wife is a fantastic painter.
