Richard Tuttle

(

1941–

)

rich-erd tut-el

Tuttle built a world where scale softens — thin lines, small objects, and fragile gestures forming intimate architectures.

His works reveal structure as whisper.

Structural Focus

Reduction with Atmosphere

Form is reduced without becoming cold or purely rational. Minimal means are used to produce calm, resonance, or emotional density.

In Richard Tuttle’s work, this approach appears where form exists at perceptual threshold.

Surface & Structure

Surface and structure operate as a unified, interdependent system.

Systems of Clarity

Order and coherence arise through disciplined systems and constraints.

Gesture

Gesture functions as structure through disciplined, repeatable action.

Material

Material behavior governs form through weight, resistance, and constraint.

Structure

Structure holds the work through rules, joins, and controlled relationships between parts.

Art

Form operates as a site for material, perceptual, and conceptual inquiry.

Post-Minimalism

Minimal systems loosen through process, material, and contingency.

Process Art

Work is defined by making, duration, and transformation.
