| The drawings were made just before the completion of Twain, a site-specific steel sculpture Serra proposed for downtown St. Louis in 1974. Twain frames views of the city and the sculpture itself through the spaces between its plates. The drawings explore possible axes for the viewer’s body and gaze to travel through the sculpture. The tension that exists between the graphite marks, the edges of the paper and the illusion of space makes the drawings dynamic works in their own right.
The photograph on which Serra sketched the outline of Twain gives an impression of the site of the sculpture in relation to downtown St. Louis. |
