I watched a few of those interviews with Charlie Rose. When The Charlie Rose show was one of the few places you could see contemporary art interviews. The other being Sunday Morning on CBS. Before KZbin.

Hi! I am a super fan of Richard Serra! I watched your video and interpretation of Serra's work! I liked it! I would like to use your video and post it to my website and flicker page. My name is Xavier Fumat, I was Serra's print maker and project collaborator at Gemini GEL for 25 years. Would like to talk with you and discuss thoughts about RS! Please, reply! X

Another good one. I know pretty much nothing about RS but I have seen his piece at LACMA and I love it. So..... from what you said I'm guessing that that piece will get a patina and change color over time. Is that right? I want to notice that happening when I visit the museum. I love that he had a close friendship with Philip Glass. That seems like something that was so RIGHT to happen. I also felt like the fact that he worked in a steel mill to supplement his income while attending Yale art school along with his exposure to the world of ship building really set the stage for who he would become as an artist. (BTW, my husband also worked in a steel mill to help pay for Yale drama). It allowed for a real working-class, not-too-precious approach to his work, and I really love artists whose work isn't too precious, even if it is intellectual. Anyway, thanks for doing this video. It has given me a deeper appreciation for his beautiful and interesting work and I will make a point of seeing his pieces when I'm in a town that has one. I'm hoping Bilbao soon!

Always coming through with the best comments! I think Band at LACMA already has its permanent color, as I think it was made in the early 2000's. It's such a rich beautiful tone. Also that's so cool about the parallel to your husband's experience at the steel mill. And I totally agree about the not overly precious approach to really cerebral work like his. There's a real balance struck there. Thank you so much Monique!
