New film from the producers of “ART CITY”
"RICHARD TUTTLE: Never Not An Artist"
***********************************************************
“A fascinating visual tour of the art and career of 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.” - 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 this Summer in San Francisco, Tuttle’s commitment to the small,
the anti-heroic, the barely visible, has inspired generations of younger
artists to trust in a personal vision. Filmed in Santa Fe, New York, Miami
San Francisco 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.
