Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Richard Serra was primarily influenced by the dome of San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane by Francesco Borromini in creating Torqued Ellipses. He was impressed by the way the oval dome appeared to be compressed and distorted, and he used this as a starting point for his own exploration of spatial distortion in his sculptures. There is no evidence that he was influenced by the ramp of the Guggenheim Museum or the steeples of the Church of Sagrada Familia.
