Richard Serra was born in San Francisco in 1939 and received his B.F.A. and M.F.A. at Yale University. He has exhibited extensively in major museums and exhibitions throughout the world, and has created site-specific sculptures for both public and private venues in North America and Europe. His most recent projects include an exhibition at the Museo Archeologico and Piazza Plebiscito in Naples (2004), and an eight-part permanent installation The Matter of Time at the Guggenheim Bilbao, which was inaugurated in 2005. A survey exhibition of his work, opening in spring 2007, is currently being prepared at The Museum of Modern Art.
