	Serra - AMAM
		In response to sculpture's traditional project of creating finite forms for aesthetic delectation, Serra and other young sculptors of the mid '60s and ‘70s devised a sculptural practice that stressed the act of working with materials of a specific, physical character, and the act of viewing the work under specific conditions of installation.
		Serra also intended that the steel surface absorb the signs of exposure (rust, discoloration, and abrasion) that would naturally accrue from the environment.
		In these early works, Serra was particularly interested in the process of making art, an issue that would become less important in pieces such as To Dickie and Tina (1969; collection of the artist), in which he explored the physical space and weight of his sculpture by balancing large sheets of lead against one another.

		Serra’s early work in the 1960s focused on the industrial materials that he had worked with as a youth in West Coast steel mills and shipyards: steel and lead.
