The art world mourns the loss of Richard Serra, an iconic figure whose monumental sculptures and evocative etchings redefined our interaction with space and form. Serra, who passed away on 26 March 2024, leaves behind a legacy that transcends the confines of galleries and museums, inviting the public to engage with art in a profoundly physical way.
