About The Artist
Although most of Richard Tuttle’s artistic output since he began his prolific career in the 1960s has taken the form of three-dimensional objects, he commonly refers to his work as drawing rather than
sculpture. Subverting the heroic monumentalism of modernist sculpture, Tuttle instead creates small, eccentrically playful objects in materials such as paper, plywood, string, cardboard, cloth, sawdust,
glitter, bubblewrap, and Styrofoam.
Tuttle has been the recipient of numerous accolades and awards, and has been featured in solo exhibitions at venues including the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Institute of Contemporary Art, Philadelphia; and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
