Nevertheless, a few of the best sculptors of the time, like Mark di Suvero and Richard Serra, obdurately resisted this trend, and we now seem to have got back to the point where we can look at a massive heavy shape without thinking it backward and funky, or parroting the once obligatory cliches about Stonehenge.
