Richard Tuttle "What's the Wind"
The Pace Gallery (510 W 25th St)
This event has ended.
Tuttle’s second solo exhibition at Pace features six recent free-standing sculptures measuring more than seven feet tall and seven feet wide. The new works, called “Systems,” conceive of sculpture as spatial interpenetrations rather than concrete three-dimensional form. Each sculpture is based on an outer “space frame” and an inner assemblage of elements made from various materials. The intensely self-referential works are a synthesis of five decades of Tuttle’s work.
