New York, Sperone Westwater, Richard Tuttle: Two With Any To, January - February 2000

"In this culture of big spectacle and loud noise, it’s inevitable that understatement and beautifully modest production will come to be valued, if only by certain cults. Richard Tuttle certainly qualifies as a high priest in this regard. He makes art that’s small but not cute, simple but not smug, minimal but not Minimalist, casual but not sloppy, formal but not rigid. A lot of pitfalls to skirt for one career, much less one series of work."


-Katy Siegel, "Richard Tuttle," Artforum, vol. 38, no. 8, April 2000, p. 140
