Richard Serra's Sculpture 4-5-6 Installed at Colby College Museum of Art

Richard Serra's monumental steel sculpture 4-5-6 (2000) occupies the courtyard of the Colby College Museum of Art. The work was documented on October 15, 2012. This installation represents a significant acquisition for the Waterville, Maine institution. Serra's characteristic use of industrial materials creates a powerful presence in the academic setting. The sculpture's title references its dimensional proportions. Its placement in an outdoor courtyard allows for continuous public engagement. The work exemplifies Serra's exploration of weight, balance, and spatial perception. This installation contributes to the museum's contemporary art holdings.
