Speaking on the exhibition Richard Serra: Prints
January 28, 2017, 2 pm
Celebrating the opening of the first exhibition of 2017, Richard Serra: Prints, Dr. Richard Shiff offers a thoughtful look at the artist’s graphic work, which Serra considered to be a method of re-seeing his finished sculptures.
Richard Shiff is Effie Marie Cain Regents Chair in Art at The University of Texas at Austin, where he directs the Center for the Study of Modernism. His broad range of publications includes Cézanne and the End of Impressionism (1984), Critical Terms for Art History (co-edited, 1996, 2003), Barnett Newman: A Catalogue Raisonné (co-authored, 2004), Doubt (2008), Between Sense and de Kooning (2011), and Ellsworth Kelly: New York Drawings 1954-1962 (2014).
