Richard Serra is an American minimalist sculptor and video artist known for working with large scale assemblies of sheet metal. Usually, Serra’s pieces are self supporting and emphasise the weight and nature of the materials. He often works on site specific installations, frequently on a scale that dwarfs the observer.

A famous work of Serra’s is the mammoth sculpture “Snake”, permanently located in the largest gallery of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao. At the 2006 Whitney Biennial, Serra showed a simple crayon drawing of an Abu Ghraib prisoner with the caption “STOP BUSH.”

In his video “Boomerang” (1974), Serra taped Nancy Holt as she talks and hears her words played back to her after they have been delayed electronically. He plays Hiram Abiff (“the architect”) in Matthew Barney’s 2002 film “Cremaster 3.”
