The work of Robert Morris was presented last spring in a massive retrospective that opened at the uptown and downtown branches of the Guggenheim Museum; it was recently at the Deichtorhallen, Hamburg, and opens in Paris at the Centre Pompidou in July.
Morris was a key participant in the development of Minimalism, Neo-Dada, anti-form, earthworks, installations and their various postmodern progeny; at the same time, his writings (beginning with the 1966 installment of his four-part "Notes on Sculpture") did much to shape the critical consensus which continues to dominate our understanding of these movements today.
In the course of planning the exhibition with Morris, I began to feel that--as Rateliff had suggested--there was a much stronger personal element in his work than he or his critics had usually acknowledged.

Primary among these materials was felt, which Morris piled, stacked, and hung from the wall in a series of works that investigated the effects of gravity and stress on ordinary materials.
Subsequent projects Morris made during the late 1960s and early 1970s included indoor installations of such unorthodox materials as dirt and threadwaste, which resisted deliberate shaping into predetermined forms, and monumental outdoor Earthworks.
