Richard Serra to Receive Lifetime Achievement Award from Americans for the Arts

You know who's going to have a pretty decent next few months? Richard Serra. Starting next Friday, Gagosian London will show of four giant steel sculptures, and all the Frieze-goes shall swoon and swoon. A show of his new large-scale drawings, "Richard Serra: Vertical and Horizontal Reversals," will open to the requisite grand fanfare at David Zwirner on November 7. Oh, and Kenny Scharf took some tasty rips of a bong inside a Serra sculpture in Texas. That must feel pretty cool.
