SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
American sculptor and draughtsman Richard Tuttle, born in Rahway in 1941, lives and works in New York and Santa Fe.
Works listed by the Art Institute of Chicago span several periods of his career: Tenth Cloth Octagonal (1967), Changed Lines (1973) and Collage Drawing (1977). Vienna Gottico (1989) is described as a work combining gouache, paper, cardboard and wood.
In Untitled, No. 13 (2004), watercolour and pencil on drawing paper, a brown-beige square is surrounded by a light blue frame painted irregularly; a fine vertical pencil line crosses the right side of the blue square. The published provenance for this work mentions Galerie Annemarie Verna in Zurich, followed by its acquisition by a Swiss private collection.
This profile brings together identity references for Richard Tuttle and paintings, drawings and works on paper documented in auction catalogues.
22 references are documented at Artcurial Beurret Bailly Widmer, Genève Enchères, Kornfeld, Schuler, Germann, Piguet. Each record links to its source; the amounts are not a general valuation of the artist’s work.
