Artist: Richard Serra

Gagosian announces the US exhibition debut of Running Arcs (For John Cage) (1992), a large-scale sculpture by Richard Serra (1938–2024).

The work has been exhibited only once before, more than thirty years ago, opening on September 12, 1992, at Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen in Düsseldorf, Germany. Running Arcs (For John Cage) will be on view at Gagosian’s 522 West 21st Street gallery, opening thirty-three years—to the date—after its initial presentation and remaining on display through December 20, 2025.

Running Arcs (For John Cage) is composed of three identical conical steel segments, inverted relative to each other, installed in a staggered formation. Each panel is approximately 52 feet long, 13 feet high, and 2 inches thick.
