Download Richard Serra on Jackson Pollock
Art critic Alastair Sooke, in the company of some of the leading creatives of our age, continues his deep dive into the stunning works in the Museum of Modern Art's collection, whilst exploring what it really means “to see” art.
Today's edition features the choice of heavyweight sculptor of steel, Richard Serra. He chooses Jackson Pollock’s "One: Number 31, 1950" - but why choose this work, and how does it inform his own?
Producer: Paul Kobrak
