Sanslartigue 2: The silent camera continued
In our 2006 visit to Dia Beacon, I wandered into the room with Richard Serra’s Torqued Ellipses, and immediately feeling a sense of weightlessness in response to the weight of those 3 pieces in that seemingly small room. I floated!
Alas, they too did not allow photographs of the galleries, so I have this one to support my memory of buoyancy.
In 2004 we traveled to Spain to visit our friend Robert, who had moved from Portland to Madrid a couple years before. Jane and I flew from Madrid to Bilbao on our own to see Frank Gehry’s Guggenheim Museum, along with Richard Serra’s work installed inside. Being squeezed between the walls of Serra’s Snake will always be a lasting memory. In the years before social media, photography in many museums and galleries was not allowed. This view of the Guggenheim from under the bridge is a similar squeeze!
