For over fifty years Richard Tuttle created a comprehensive oeuvre that touches on several media and genres. He also composed texts, mostly in answer to requests for specific purposes. In this he did not see writing as the mediation of information, but rather as artistic expression, based on the model of the artist-poet traditional in Asian culture. This volume brings together his texts published in exhibition catalogues, books and newspapers, as well as hitherto unpublished texts. These include not only reflections and commentaries on art and drawing, but also homages to artist friends, including various texts on Agnes Martin, travel notes, poems and lectures that Tuttle held in various institutions.weiterlesen
