In modern art, there's a fair amount of true genius mixed together with pretentious carpetbaggers who have the right kind of access and resources. I find that for every installation that inspires and informs there's another that's a "nifty idea" that uses grand proportions as a crutch.

I think Roberto, if you, I or anybody else here had the ability to produce a marginally interesting object at a ridiculously large size in conjunction with a very cerebral-sounding motive, we could easily pass off our work as one belonging to an established installation artist.

I admire Anish Kapoor. Good stuff.

I consider Serra more a designer than an artist. Same goes for a good measure of his contemporaries.
