“Smithson and Serra: beyond modernism” documentary

September 12, 2011 by Fosco Lucarelli Leave a Comment

An out-of-circulation documentary about the work of Richard Serra and Robert Smithson, produced in the UK for television.
Streamable and downloadable below.

From the Roland Collection summary:

Robert Smithson and Richard Serra both believed that sculpture should have a dialog with its environment. Two sculptures of Richard Serra are shown in an urban environment – Fulcrum in the Broadgate development at Liverpool Street in London and Tilted Arc in New York – the latter has since been destroyed. Spin Out, a tribute to Robert Smithson, is in a rural site at the Kroller-Muller Museum in Holland. Robert Smithson’s work is represented by Broken Circle, Spiral Hill, which is in a disused quarry in north Holland. Smithson, who died in 1973, greatly influenced Serra’s work.
