  Art:21 . Richard Tuttle . Biography . Documentary Film | PBS
Richard Tuttle was born in Rahway, New Jersey in 1941, and lives and works in New Mexico and New York.
Although most of Tuttle’s prolific artistic output since he began his career in the 1960s has taken the form of three-dimensional objects, he commonly refers to his work as drawing rather than sculpture, emphasizing the diminutive scale and idea-based nature of his practice.
Tuttle also manipulates the space in which his objects exist, placing them unnaturally high or oddly low on a wall, forcing viewers to reconsider and renegotiate the white-cube gallery space in relation to their own bodies.

 The Art of Richard Tuttle   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-09)
Richard Tuttle is hardly a household name, like, say, his better-known contemporaries Sol Lewitt or Ellsworth Kelly.
Tuttle is notable for his use of non-traditional materials and a degree of improvisation in his creative process.
Tuttle specified neither which was the front or back of these pieces nor how they should be hung--a degree of chance introduced that would doubtless leave a pure minimalist in shock.

 At the Met With Richard Tuttle: Influence Cast in Stone
EW YORK -- Richard Tuttle, who grew up during the 1940s in Roselle, N.J., remembers first going to the Metropolitan Museum of Art when he was around 6 and seeing the ancient Assyrian gates that used to flank the entrance to the south galleries.
Tuttle was among the Post-Minimalists who came onto the scene during the late 60s and 70s, making sculptures of rubber, wire and cloth piled in a corner, hanging on a wall or lying around the floor.
Tuttle is especially interested in works that function on different planes of consciousness, the term he used in talking about the Flemish portraits.

 Haber's Art Reviews: Richard Tuttle
Tuttle takes each solid object one at a time, and it does not become a prop in anyone's drama, not even the viewer's.
Tuttle does not embellish his surfaces beyond a single muted, unnatural acrylic shade—at times, easy to mistake for a shadow or pencil drawing on the wall.
Tuttle's contemporaries tend to seek a kind of greater truth in the art object.

But "The Art of Richard Tuttle," the first full-scale career survey of his work, on view through Oct. 16 at the San Francisco Museum of Art, actually cannot be labeled strictly minimalist.
But, love it or hate it, Tuttle's art engages the viewer in a dialogue about his philosophy of form and color, which, since the mid-1960s, continues to be one of the most distinct in American art.
Tuttle's most intriguing works are the "Wire Pieces" he created between 1971 and 1974 and serve as examples of key elements of his art: line, that most basic form of visual expression.

His grandfather, Judge Tuttle, gave him lands on the east side of Dover neck "lying and being between Leftenant Beard's land and Nutter's and the High Street on the west and the river on the east." This tract of land included the homestead of John Tuttle, the first settler.
Richard Edwards' brother was found guilty of slaying his sister, by the Colonial Court, and executed; and another sister was found guilty of killing her own son, but through the confusion existing at that time, she escaped the penalty of the law."
Richard subsequently learned that he was not the father of the first child, Mary, and on July 2, 1689, he filed a petition to divorce her.

 A metaphysics of simplicity - Agnes Martin and Richard Tuttle, Modern Art Museum, Fort Worth, Texas Art in America - ...
The 30-year friendship between Agnes Martin and Richard Tuttle was the subtheme of a recent dual retrospective that explored formal affinities and differences between two lifelong proponents of the succinct gesture.
Tuttle was at the time 22 years old and headed into the U.S. Air Force.
He considers the artists united in their pursuit of a "metaphysics of simplicity," a deeply rooted affinity that allowed visually diverse works to speak to one another in engaging and surprising ways throughout an installation that represented a carefully selected 30-year retrospective of each artist.

 E-Flux : Richard Tuttle Booksigning at Printed Matter, Inc. - (2002-10-30)
Richard Tuttle: Memento/center was published on the occasion of two recent exhibitions on the artist's work curated by Susan Harris that took place in the summer of 2002.
Tuttle's work was presented in Memento at the Museu de Arte Contemporânea de Serralves in Porto, Portugal and in center at the Centro Galego de Arte Contemporánea in Santiago de Compostela Spain.
While the exhibitions were conceived autonomously for these two museums in neighboring cities and countries, Tuttle, nevertheless, envisioned them as complimentary components of a larger, if intangible whole and, in the process, expanded further the parameters within which he has been creating and through which the viewer approaches his art.

 The New York Times > Arts > Art & Design > Artist or Guru, He Aims Deep
Tuttle recalled a piece he showed at the Whitney Museum of American Art in the 1970's, which he described as "some paint at the end of a coffee stirrer, placed on a 40-foot wall." At the opening, after studying this tiny thing, an impeccably dressed man approached the artist and asked him: "Mr.
Tuttle, 63, whose work can often fit in a palm, is trying the other extreme: he has begun installing "Splash," his first public art project, a mural 90 by 150 feet with about 140,000 pieces of colored glass and white ceramic tiles.
Tuttle arrived on the downtown art scene in the mid-1960's he has been regarded in some quarters as hugely important and in others not regarded at all.

When this work was first made, Tuttle considered it sculpture, and raised it on a pedestal.
As often happens with this artist andÊ his work, on seeing the piece again years later, he realized that one detail needed to be changed: he shortened the cord, deciding that it is very important that the plug rest just on the rim of the platter.
This is a proposed free outdoor installation by Tuttle, which he presented us, in the form of a watercolor and pendant note, as part of our exhibition, "The Garden." We’ve yet to find someone whose landscape fits the qualifications.

 Tuttle, Todd, Doolittle, Chapin
Simon Tuttle was a very well -off man (though not on the same level of well off as my Noyes ancestors, who had advanced into the gentry), with much property and possibly a fair number of sheep.
Greene argues that: Ann Tuttle married William Hurd around 1654-5, which is consistent with the age of Ann the daughter of William, who was baptized in 1633, and that this would make the births of her children end when she was around 40.
The Tuttles were an emotionally intense family with a feudal temperament and genetic tendency to mental illness, and they adhered to feudal ways of thinking and religious practices longer than did most people.

 Richard Tuttle has earned his major SFMOMA retrospective. Question is, does he really want it?
Tuttle ranks the success of his work not by its effectiveness as self- expression, but quite the opposite, by the extent to which it detaches itself from him.
The plainness of Tuttle's early works, such as polygons of dyed canvas pinned unframed to the wall, reflects the minimalist aesthetic of the period.
Tuttle says that rather than providing more beauty, the artist ought to make "something we can experience and take in and then go back and take in the beauty of the world and not be overwhelmed by it."

Tuttle, now 64, has devised objects whose status is not quite sculpture or drawing or painting but some combination of the three, and whose exquisiteness is akin to jewelry.
Tuttle, in nudging Minimalism toward personal touch and private speech, was here abetted by the somewhat paradoxical examples of Agnes Martin and Barnett Newman.
Tuttle's early efforts occasionally favored metaphysics over sheer visual loveliness, although the early drawings, on which many works are based, place delicate marks just so on otherwise blank sheets of paper.

 The Art of Richard Tuttle
Over the past four decades, Richard Tuttle has thrown into question nearly every conceivable artistic convention and critical category to create an enormously inventive body of abstract work-one that embraces and intermingles drawing, painting, collage, book-making, sculpture, and design.
From his spare yet enigmatic forms of the 1960s to his complex, multi-faceted assemblages and installations of more recent years, Tuttle’s primary impetus throughout has been to craft unique objects, using everyday, often ephemeral materials, that demand to be confronted on their own terms.
The Art of Richard Tuttle is published in conjunction with a major retrospective organized by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.

 artnet® Magazine - Features - Art Market Guide 2005 by Richard Polsky
Tuttle can be classified as a "collector’s artist." When his galleries sell a work, it tends to stay put.
Tuttle is an artist who makes things -- a throwback to the days when kids carefully, but not too perfectly, built model airplanes; often, the finished project was flawed -- a little too much enamel here, a sloppily applied decal there -- but because of these imperfections, the toy had an undeniable charm.
Chances are, Tuttle’s achievement will be rated somewhere above artists such as John McCracken, John McLaughlin and Fred Sandback, but a little below the paintings of Robert Mangold and the sculpture of Walter de Maria and Jene Highstein.

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.

Drawing has often been a daily practice for Tuttle, and occupies a primary position within his entire body of work: the artist often refers to his artworks, whatever their medium, as “drawing,” in the sense that drawing can be understood as a metaphor for improvisation, process, or, ultimately, for thinking.
With his works, Tuttle invites the viewer to pay attention to that which is normally overlooked: his drawings emphasize texture, form, and the contingent relationship between a work of art and the space surrounding it.
