Robert Hughes from the guardian calls Richard Serra the only great sculptor alive in the early 21st century. Read a review of Serra's new installation at Guggenheim Bilbao.
Uh, Matthew Barney anyone? Louise Borgeouis? Ann Hamilton? Or perhaps installation is not sculpture - but see see even refers to the Serra "installation". Hughes comes from the big manly metal school of sculpture I take it. Using his stated critera of "beauty and cultural impact" I think he would have to at least aknowlege that another great sculptor is alive in the 21st century.
