With Gary Garrels
Join acclaimed art historian and critic Hal Foster for a conversation about the life and work of legendary sculptor Richard Serra, whose often massive, site-specific steel structures have transformed the art form.

Gain insight into one of our most brilliant and influential artists and learn what situates Serra in the history of sculpture across time and culture. Foster is joined in conversation by SFMOMA’s Gary Garrels.
