Richard Serra at the MOMA

If you looked at a Richard Serra sculpture
like a painting it would look like this.

But nobody really sees it that way, it is so huge you could notice it from a mile away -and when you come up to it you are compelled to continue walking through. The metal slabs curve as if they are molding out the empty space, changing the light and carving out a profile against the sky.
