Richard Tuttle

Venue: The Art Museums of Bergen - Lysverket / Opens: Saturday November 3 at 2pm

Bergen Kunsthall is proud to present the American artist Richard Tuttle’s first solo exhibition in Norway. The exhibition will be held in the Art Museums of Bergens department Lysverket.

In the middle of the 1960s Richard Tuttle established a unique position for himself on the American post-war art scene. Since then he has presented a large number of exhibitions at regular intervals, and his oeuvre has been the object of constantly renewed interest. Tuttle is often described as a post-minimalist, with a background in the artistic milieu in which he first became known; nevertheless Tuttle’s works elude simple characterizations. It is striking to see how his whole oeuvre appears as relevant today as ever in the light of the renewed current interest in formal issues and an orientation towards the meaning-bearing features of materiality in sculpture and painting.
