“Sea Level”, by Richard Serra. American artist Richard Serra (1939) was fascinated when he discovered that the level of the water of the surrounding lakes was higher than the ground in Zeewolde, and that people were actually walking on the bottom of the sea. In Zeewolde, Serra’s Sea Level (1996) shows how high the sea used to be here. At its unveiling in 1996, Sea Level was Serra’s largest work of art in Europe, with a total length of 600 meters.
