Museum of Islamic Art & Park Qatar Museums Authority Richard Serra
May 1-July 6: Al Riwaq Doha. Richard Serra brings together sculptures and drawings from different periods of Serra’s fifty-year career, including works from the seminal One Ton Prop (House of Cards) of 1969, on rare loan from the Museum of Modern Art in New York, to a new sculpture created for this exhibition. Al Riwaq will house Serra’s new work, Passage of Time, which has been made especially for the space that spans a total area of 5,000 square-metres. The sculpture is made up of two 66.5-metre-long and 11.5-metre deep steel curves that snake diagonally through the site, and was fabricated in Germany at one of the very few steel mills that can take on such monumental steel works.
