New Artist Monday

Richard Sierra is definitely not new to the art world, but I wanted to feature him here in case anyone had not heard of/experienced his art work. His huge steel sculptures are some of my favorites, creating environments that can be imposing, invoke movement with in the viewer, comforting, and/or confining.

I have had the privilege of experiencing Sierra's sculptures in Seattle, New York and here in St. Louis. Yes friends we have our own Sierra right next to the arch, go check it out!

Here is some sites to help introduce you to Richard Serra:
