American sculptor Richard Serra looks on as he stands by some of his steel monoliths during the inauguration of his exhibition at the Grand Palais museum in Paris Tuesday May 6, 2008. Beneath the delicate glass and filigree metal dome of Paris' Grand Palais, five mammoth steel monoliths, rust-brown and pockmarked, reach toward the sky. They're the work of celebrated American sculptor Richard Serra, who in a new exhibition manages to infuse the pieces that stand 76 feet tall and weigh 73 tons with an almost eerie weightlessness.
