Richard Tuttle
"I want to know a lot of things I don't already know-especially as the things I do know, if written down, do not have the permanence I want in my mind."
Richard Tuttle was born in Rahway, New Jersey in 1941, and lives and works in New Mexico and New York. He received a BA from Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut. Although most of Tuttle’s prolific artistic output since he began his career in the 1960s has taken the form of three-dimensional objects, he commonly refers to his work as drawing rather than sculpture, emphasizing the diminutive scale and idea-based nature of his practice.
Tuttle has recieved various awards over the years such as the 1965 C. Douglas Dillon Foundation, New York, 1968National Endowment for the Arts, Washington, DC19 74th American Exhibition, Art Institute of Chicago Biennial Prize, 1998 Skowhegan Medal for Sculpture, New York, The Aachen Art Prize, Ludwig Forum für Internationale Kunst, Germany, 2003 Academy Award in Art, American Academy of Arts and Letters, New York. He is definitly an accomplished artist.
