Guggenheim Commissions Serra For $20 Million

The Guggenheim has commissioned Richard Serra to “create a room-size installation of monumental steel sculptures, including seven new ones” for the museum’s Bibao Museum. “The region’s Basque government, which covers the museum’s operating costs and pays for its acquisitions, has spent about $20 million on the commission. The installation, expected to take 17 months to produce and install, is scheduled for completion in June 2005.”
