A renouned sculptor, Richard Serra's works on paper are an integral part of his artistic endeavors. Typically, he makes drawings or prints after the completion of his sculptures as a way of re-visiting and re-examining the 3-dimensional forms. As the title implies, the Venice Notebook Series were inspired by the sculptures exhibited in Venice at the Biennale last year. The two sculptures created for the 2001 Venice Biennale are enormous weatherproof steel forms tightly wound into spirals with almost maze-like intensity. The tops and bottoms of these torqued spiral sculptures are dramatically pulled in different directions, creating passageways of varying widths.
