Richard Tuttle

This book is published to accompany a major retrospective exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art in the summer of 1998, which is the first comprehensive showing of Tony Smith's work as an architect, painter, and sculptor. The essays include Robert Storr's analysis and assessment of Smith's life and work in all mediums, in which he discusses the artist's relationship to the leading Abstract Expressionists of the 1950s, his association with the Minimalist sculptors of the 1960s, and Smith's unique place in the history of American modernist art. John Keenen explores Smith's work as an architect of both built and unbuilt projects. Joan Pachner's two texts survey Smith's paintings and drawings and his monumental sculptural forms. Three plate sections reproduce more than 190 works: Smith's architectural designs; his varied drawings and paintings; and his sculptural models and completed sculptures. An illustrated chronology tells the story of the artist's life, and a section of writings, interviews, and letters documents Smith's own thoughts as well as the recollections of family and friends. A selected bibliography and an exhibition history complete the book.

Published to accompany a solo exhibition of Ingrid Calame's work during the Edinburgh Art Festival 2011. Calame, an artist based in Los Angeles, makes intricate, abstract paintings and drawings with a specific relationship to the world. Her work begins with marks, stains and cracks on the ground which Calame traces, then combines in layers and retraces, transforming them into drawings in coloured pencil or pure pigment and paintings in enamel or oil paint.This publication presents Calame's work from 1994 to 2011. Extensively illustrated with three new essays and an interview with the artist, it charts the development of Calame's singular visual language.

Mit Richard Tuttle (*1941) wurde 2015 ein grösserer Sammlungsblock aufgebaut, den der amerikanische Künstler in einem Saal des Museums installierte. Nun ist Tuttle erneut präsent mit einer Ausstellung, die im Dialog mit den gleichzeitig gezeigten Werken von Hans Arp steht. Von äusserer Verwandtschaft der Œuvres der beiden Künstler zu sprechen, wäre nicht angebracht. Die Berührung verläuft auf einer anderen Ebene: Tuttle interessiert der Gedanke, dass Arp nicht nur Bildhauer, sondern auch Dichter war und dass in seinem Werk Sprache und Skulptur miteinander verbunden sind, ein Thema, an dem er ebenfalls arbeitet. Arps Skulptur steht, wie Tuttle sagt, auf dem Sockel der Sprache. 00Exhibition: Kunstmuseum Winterthur, Switzerland (27.02.-24.06.2016).

Tate Modern's Turbine Hall has played host to some of the world's most striking and memorable works of contemporary art. Now, this vast space welcomes the largest work ever created by renowned American sculptor Richard Tuttle (born 1941). Entitled 'I Don't Know . The Weave of Textile Language', this newly commissioned sculpture combines vast sways of fabrics designed by the artist from both man-made and natural fibres in three bold and brilliant colours. The commission is part of a wider survey of the artist taking place in London this autumn and comprising a major exhibition at the Whitechapel Gallery surveying five decades of Tuttle's career and a sumptuous new publication rooted in the artist's own collection of historic and contemporary textiles.--Tate website.
