work comes out of work
In the organizer's words:
"The factories and steelworks are my extended studio"
Richard Serra
With these words, Richard Serra (1938-2024) refers to the processes required to create his often large-scale sculptures. A complex, energy-intensive and labor-intensive process in heavy industry takes the place of solitary artistic handiwork. Unique works of art emerge from industrial collaboration, and it is not uncommon for the confrontation with industrial working methods to lead to new works: work comes out of work.
Dirk Reinartz (1947-2004) accompanied the creation and construction of Serra's sculptures photographically for many years. This resulted in images that go far beyond mere documentation and develop a pictorial quality of their own. Reinartz's subtly graduated black and white photography captures the special atmosphere in the rolling mill, in the forge and in industrial processing, without aiming for superficial effects. Reinartz captures both the production of the individual sculptural elements and the finished, installed works in impressive photographs, equally restrained and confident.
Accompanying the presentation, the Museum Wiesbaden is showing a room with sculptural works and large-format oil chalk works by Richard Serra.
