Rome Pieces

Not on view
Richard Tuttle first came to prominence in the heady years of the 1960s, when he gained critical recognition for a body of work that used humble, mundane materials such as textile, paper, wire, and rope—materials that have remained the cornerstone of his practice. In Rome Pieces, thin graphite lines and cut pieces of plain sketchbook paper subtly transform an area of the gallery wall, suggesting that art can be both humble and transformative. A pioneer of Process Art and other conceptual strategies, Tuttle claims this work is "as much an invention of a procedure as it is a form," and that this procedure is about "slowing down" and "paying attention."
