“A fascinating visual tour of the art and career of Richard Tuttle,
the maverick Minimalist who has never stopped pushing the envelope
of what art can be.” -Robert Rosenblum, professor of Art History, NYU

“This view into the work, life and thinking of Richard Tuttle is a
rich gift.” –Brice Marden

“Richard Tuttle is increasingly recognized as a genuine, if highly
idiosyncratic, American master.” –Richard Lacayo, Time Magazine

Richard Tuttle’s extraordinary work has exuded vitality and energy for over four decades–a remarkable feat, particularly since his art is so modest, vulnerable and daringly simplified. An elegant iconoclast who never hesitates to take risks, Tuttle uses frail and transitory materials such as plywood, tissue, wire, cloth–even shadows–to create entire worlds of thought, while challenging the ‘super-size’ aesthetic with his minor-scaled works. From his early years as assistant at the famed Betty
Parsons Gallery in New York to his major retrospective launched in San Francisco in Summer 2005, Tuttle’s commitment to the small, the anti-heroic, the barely visible, has inspired generations of younger artists to follow one’s own personal vision. Filmed in New Mexico, New York, San Francisco, Miami and Los Angeles, this engaging production takes viewers into the
studio and life of a most distinctive artist, while exploring issues of commitment, communication and controversy, the relationship between size and value, the language of materials and learning how to “see” art.
