On Monday Amy and Liz and Kathy and I went to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and had a great time. Near the end of our visit, I stumbled across Richard Serra’s “Band” and it is stunning! It is fabricated from 2” thick steel, and 12 feet tall and 77 feet long, wrapping around in circles with leaning walls. It is absolutely stunning to look at and walk around, and then going inside is even more amazing. It weights 200 tons and all that weight is something you feel as you walk around the outside and then enter the inner spaces. "Band" is a monumental piece of sculpture and a joy to behold. Because it is so massive a sculpture, it has such great power.
