Biography
Born on the fringes of American Minimalism in the early 1960s, Richard Tuttle’s work is singular. Be it painting, sculpture, engraving, installation, or conceptual art, he borrows from them all with great freedom, mixing and subverting them with an immutable delicacy, but also great determination. The use of unusual, humble, and fragile materials is his trademark. He brings them to life with a light and inspired touch. An experimenter with paradoxes, he cultivates a sense of the monumental in the minuscule and makes the apparent fragility of his sculpture its strength.
