    Upsilon Gallery is pleased to present "On Paper," a solo artist OVR dedicated to the late American sculptor Richard Serra. The exhibition gathers 12 prints produced as the result of a close collaboration with Gemini G.E.L. in Los Angeles. Throughout his career, he made over 200 printed works and like his sculpture and drawing, his prints reflect an interest in process, scale, and experimentation with material.

    Richard Serra, Paths and Edges #10, 2007

    His early lithographs starting in 1972 include the prints Circuit; Balance; Eight by Eight; and 183rd & Webster Avenue, each titled after a sculpture created around the same time. In 1981 Serra produced his first lithograph series comprising seven editions, titled: Sketch #1 through Sketch #7. That same year Serra began to make larger-scale prints such as Malcolm X; Goslar, and The Moral Majority Sucks.

  • After pushing lithography to its limit, Serra began to work with silkscreen to produce a unique surface in his prints. He did so by first applying a layer of ink onto the paper. He then would apply a layer of paintstick through the second screen creating a saturated and textured surface. Serra continued to work with this unconventional silkscreen technique, and later sometimes combining it with etching and aquatint.
