Venice Notebook 2001
New Prints


June 28 – August 30, 2002


  Danese is pleased to announce an exhibition of new prints by Richard Serra, presented in cooperation with Gemini G.E.L. at Joni Moisant Weyl, New York, opening June 28 and continuing through August 30.

The etchings, each measuring 16 x 18 inches, were generated from drawings of two torqued spirals, Left/Right and In/Out/Left/Right, which Serra created for the 2001 Venice Biennale. From a lift above these monumental steel sculptures, Serra viewed their elevations and radii from different angles and recorded his observations as notebook studies. These were later converted into this group of eighteen etchings, which echo the curvilinear form and kinetic energy implicit in his sculpture, while retaining the spirit and immediacy of the original line drawings.
