Here at Art21, we also made a short film about Richard Serra (including some
footage of ³Charlie Brown,² the sculpture in the Gap building) a few years
ago. On our website, you can see a clip of him installing the piece scroll
down to the left under ³multimedia.²

We're also on Netflix, if you want to watch the whole segment. Serra's part
of Season 1.
