What is the material that Richard Serra uses for his sculptures?
Richard Serra prefers to use steel for his sculptures. He narrows that down and reports that rolled Cor-Ten steel with an evenly rusted surface is his favorite medium. The artist has experimented in other mediums, including film, but is best noted for his large-scale steel structures.
