Edición de la obra Richard Serra

The first confrontation with 'Open ended' is impressive, almost overwhelming. The gigantic sculpture looms up like the bow of an ocean liner. It is an artwork full of contradictions: it is extremely heavy and elegant, industrial and organic, majestic and playful, hollow and round. The sculpture is earthy and physical and yet also possesses an almost immaterial lightness. Six gracefully arched steel plates together form an elegant labyrinth. 'Open ended' is a work of art that should be experienced walking.
