One of a “chain” of twelve worldwide galleries, the underrated Britannia Street Gagosian is all hard lines and white light.
And, after a visit last Friday lunchtime, we highly recommend the atmospheric new show by New York-based Richard Serra, which displays four awe-inspiring steel sculptures. Most powerful is the eerie Backdoor Pipeline (pictured), fun – not to mention a little unsettling – to scuttle through.
His work has been shown in numerous solo museum exhibitions from Amsterdam to Centre Pompidou, Paris and the Museum of Modern Art, New York. In 2005, eight large-scale works were permanently installed at Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao.
