{"product_id":"9783775762953","title":"Anne Truitt","description":"The American artist Anne Truitt was a pioneer of sculptural Minimalism. She became known for her multi-colored stelae, whose surfaces are painted with up to forty layers of dark or delicate hues. \"What I was trying to do, essentially, was to take the picture off the wall so that color could stand free in space,\" Truitt said. Twenty years after her death, this publication, accompanying the first comprehensive touring exhibition of her work, introduces Truitt's oeuvre to a broad European audience for the first time. It presents her groundbreaking sculptures from the early 1960s, the white Arundel Paintings from the 1970s, as well as numerous works on paper and rare archival material.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnne Truitt (1921–2004) was an American sculptor regarded as a pioneer of Minimalism and the Washington Color School. After studying psychology, she turned to art and developed her characteristic columnar wooden sculptures in the 1960s. She painted these in intense colors with many thin layers, thereby achieving a special depth and emotional resonance. Truitt saw her works as three-dimensional paintings.","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53758697079048,"sku":"9783775762953","price":33.61,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775762953.jpg?v=1773560352","url":"https:\/\/hatjecantz.com\/products\/9783775762953","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
