About

Gagosian is pleased to present two concurrent exhibitions of new work by Richard Serra. Three new steel sculptures will be shown at the Britannia Street gallery together with “forged drawings”—small, geometric forged steel plates with paintstick applied to the surface.

At the same time, new works on paper will be shown at the Davies Street gallery. These are Serra’s first exhibitions in London since Weight and Measure was presented in the Duveen Galleries at the Tate Gallery in 1992.
