Go See Serra Pt 2: Serratopia

The Richard Serra retrospective in NYC. John Perreault went to see it. The next best thing to being there.

Who is John Perreault? Art critic, curator, artist, poet, collector of books and ... dishware. On the scene since the mid-60s, writing erudite, clear-headed essays and reviews. He provides consistently intelligent insight into the various strands that make up the arts, exemplary of why arts critique is valuable, necessary. I am a fan. For freedom's sake he writes an art blog, Artopia, where he writes what he wants to write. This entry is about Richard Serra - the massive materiality of his works filling the new MoMA.Artopia
