Richard Serra began making prints as early as 1972. For the past five decades he has consistently pursued the myriad possibilities of printmaking and created a graphic œuvre as concentrated as it is rich and diverse. Even if the relationship between Serra’s prints and his sculptural works cannot be denied—the exploration of form, establishing and testing the tension between positive and negative space, the dialogue between two- and three-dimensionality—the prints are an autonomous form of expression with their own themes and creative approaches, such as his innovative use of oil-stick ink to create a surface that both absorbs and reflects light. This catalogue raisonné offers a complete survey of 50 years of Serra’s graphic work—including lithographs, screen-prints and etchings—and situates it in the broader context of his artistic practice.
