Richard Serra is the focus of an extensive profile and interview in Border Crossings on the occasion of his recent solo exhibition at David Zwirner.
"The conversation started with language," writes Meeka Walsh, "that non-material stuff, literature being Richard Serra’s undergraduate degree . . . Emerson’s essay Self-Reliance from 1841, with its emphasis on independence and nonconformity, was an early guide to which he has adhered since his student days.
