Richard Serra began making prints as early as 1972. For the past five decades he has consistently pursued the myriad possibilities of printmaking and created a graphic oeuvre as concentrated as it is rich and diverse. Even if the relationship between Serra's prints and his sculptural works cannot be denied-the exploration of form, establishing and testing the tension between positive and negative space, the dialogue between two- and three-dimensionality-the prints are an autonomous form of expression with their own themes and creative approaches, such as his innovative use of oil-stick ink to create a surface that both absorbs and reflects light. This catalogue raisonné offers a complete survey of 50 years of Serra's graphic work-including lithographs, screen-prints and etchings-and situates it in the broader context of his artistic practice.
