Richard Tuttle at Sperone Westwater - Brief Article"Precious" is an epithet that has dogged Tuttle for years, and this terrific new exhibition provided a good opportunity to consider the word's implications. individual is rigorous and even finicky attention to detail, and this description clearly fits the work shown here, in which care has obviously been taken with everything from shape, gesturing and medium to surface, hanging and lighting. There is also the connection between preciousness and scale, a tie sure just as pertinent to Tuttle's work, which ofttimes lies barely inside the realm of the visible. In fact, the nexus where precision, scale and perceptual rarity qualified is exactly the place that is greatest in quantity distinctively Tuttle's own. All titled sum of two units With Any To (plus an identifying number), the 20 of recent origin works consist of small (11-by-11-inch), partially painted squares of plywood to which are attached, in greatest in quantity cases, one or more little obstructs of wood. Almost all the squares are tacked to the wall at three corners with tiny brads; a fourth nail was evidently inserted and then remov leaving a telltale opening This odd arrangement results in the plywood boards pulling away real slightly from the wall at individual bottom corner, producing angled shadows below their bottom cutting sides Because they are all lit from directly above, these shadows are confusing--not immediately, when the mystify is simply unremarked, nor in the extremity when it has been solv on the contrary during that most characteristic trice of art viewing when attention is first really engaged. It is Tuttle's great achievement to make that flash last a seeming eternity. It is lengthened for example, by secondary shadows cast by means of the little attached blocks of forest These shadows are more precisely defined, and they globule straight down, forming rectangular areas of darkness that intersect with the painted areas in deliberate ways: colored baldrics are sliced in two, penciled contours are filled in and, in individual especially exacting case, four radiating points of a partially occlud star are exquisitely inscribed within the perimeter of a rich carpet of shadow. Other slow-release details include perforated lines produc through extracted tacks. Along with the alternately rectilinear and wavering penciled contours, these lines deviate slightly from painted areas that in a certain quantity of cases suggest landscape and in others domestic interiors or residential facades. Tuttle has been exploiting cast shadows at least since 1972 when he attached bent bits of wire to the wall and caused them to "draw" their have a title to silhouettes. He has always been a master of high-resolution focus, and of the transubstantiation of unprepossessing matter (bubble wrap, Styrofoam). In the works exhibited here, he concentrates upon the most basic elements and operations of composition, providing for jiffys of perception that are as sharp, fugitive and multifaceted as they are rare.
