Entretanto, na vida de Richard Serra
A vida inteira1965
Married: Nancy Graves
1966
Velázquez's “Las Meninas” and the end of painting
While still in Italy, he travels to the Prado in Madrid and sees Diego Velázquez's “Las Meninas”; he realizes he will not surpass the skill of that painting and decides to move away from painting.
1966
First solo exhibition in Rome
His first solo exhibition, “Animal Habitats”, opens at Galleria Salita in Rome: assemblages made with live and stuffed animals, later regarded as early work of the Arte Povera movement.
1968
Group show “Nine at Castelli”
At the Castelli Warehouse in New York he shows “Prop” and “Scatter Piece” and makes “Splashing” by throwing molten lead into the angle between floor and wall.
1969
Jasper Johns's commission and a plate in the corner
Jasper Johns commissions a “Splash Piece” for his studio; while heating the lead plates, Serra sets one of the larger ones in the corner, where it stands on its own. It becomes a pivotal moment, soon followed by his break into space.
1969
First solo exhibition in the United States
At the Leo Castelli Warehouse in New York he exhibits ten lead “Prop Pieces”, a “Scatter Piece” and a “Splash Piece” dedicated to Eva Hesse.
