Michelle White, Associate Curator at the Menil Collection in Houston, will deliver a lecture entitled “Richard Serra Drawing” at Tulane’s Stone Auditorium (210 Woldenberg Art Center) on Wednesday, February 1st at 6pm.
The lecture coincides with the retrospective of Serra’s drawings traveling to the Menil Collection this March through June. A press release for the project explains: “While Serra’s sculptures have been widely recognized and the subject of numerous museum exhibitions, his drawings, which have played a crucial role in his work for over forty years, have not received a critical overview. This exhibition…traces Serra’s investigation of drawing as an activity both independent from and linked to his sculptural practice.”
A reception will follow the lecture and discussion.

Enjoy!
