Earlier in the year I had the chance to revisit the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam. When I was last there, Richard Serra’s Sight Point (for Leo Castelli) had been dismantled to make way for improvements to the Museumplein. Not this time though; divesting myself of all the baggage that comes with art history, I had one of the most moving experiences I've ever had with a piece of sculpture, contemplating this gargantuan geometric form with fresh eyes.
