Richard Tuttle

Looking for the Map . 2014

Richard Tuttle, a collector of textiles from around the world, has focused and expanded his knowledge beyond his collection to understanding the material from its inherent qualities to the extrinsic factors caused by the chemistry of the dyeing process… Richard Tuttle revolutionized sculpture in the 1960s by challenging preconceived notions of the genre through his use of everyday materials such as paper, rope, plywood and cloth. While first utilizing cloth, Tuttle’s experiments led him to make a variety of irregular shaped canvases that were dyed and stitched.
