I was down in New York most of the past week, packing up an artist's donation to a major museum. On one day, though, we couldn't work on that project, so I made pickups and deliveries around Manhattan. My cohort that day was an artist, and after making one stop, he suggested we take a look into the Gagosian Gallery, which was across from our truck, in the Chelsea arts district.
The Gagosian now has an exhibit by Richard Serra called "Blind Spot/Open-ended." Walking around these two sculptures was like getting a tugboat's view of a rusted hull; walking inside "Blind Spot" you felt like you were in Andrew Carnergie's idea of a maze. My artist friend said that there are only a few machines that can bend steel in this way, and Serra owns one of them (this seems plausible, although this fellow had a tendency to stretch the truth a bit).
