I'd put trusses together as a kid and I'd stuck rivets and I'd seen steel being rigged, so I had no fear of ordering a two-and-a-half-inch plate eight by eight feet that weighted six or seven tons."Įxcerpted from a conversation with Kynaston McShine in Richard Serra: Sculpture: Forty Years, published by The Museum of Modern Art, New York. It was in the worlds of engineering and technology, but not the art world. But at a certain point I realized that I knew more about steel than probably any artist who had worked with it, and why not use it? Artists who had used steel before did not deal with its tectonic potential, its weight, its compression, its mass, its stasis-that wasn't knowledge that was in the art world. I always thought it was the most traditional material you could use, and that if you used steel you had to acknowledge the tradition of sculpture.
