Summary: A clear look into the mind of a great artist and philosopher
Review: I have been a fan of Richard Serra's from the moment I first viewed the torqued elipses. I looked for his work and information about him all over the place, all of which sparked my interest. I saw this book and I was incredibly curious to read what an artist who does so much head work has to say, and whether it would be clear and understandable. I was so pleased to find that Serra was incredibly open, direct, honest, well-expressed, with an even humorous turn-of-phrase at times, which was refreshing. I highly recommend the essays and interviews 'Extended Notes From Sight Point Road,' 'About Drawing: An Interview,' and 'An Opinionated Museum Goer.' I personally found myself agreeing with much of what Serra said and wrote, in fact, to my surprise, he was able to articulate many of my thoughts better than I ever had. A great, influential man, and I highly recommend this book by and about him.
