Based on Richard Serra
My client is a large scale sculptor who lives with his wife. He has no children. He has residences in New York City and Nova Scotia so he enjoys cold weather but is looking for another home, a small getaway. It should be close enough to a lively city, where he can be inspired by human interaction, but should also be in a quiet area where he will have time for contemplation.
This artist creates large scale, public art sculpture because he believes that in art “the content is the ‘viewer.’” However he truly believes that art is not about looking but is about experience. In other words the viewer should not just be a viewer. He likes physical and experiential engagement with his art. His art can be considered minimalist.
The artist is most inspired by dancers and theatrical productions because that is where he learns most about space and physical interactions between people, objects, and the natural world. Access to live performance is essential.
He needs a large studio but this home will not be for his monumental fabrications. It will be for experimenting at a “smaller” but still human scale.
