Anne Truitt: Threshold: Work from the 1970s
Matthew Marks is pleased to announce Anne Truitt: Threshold, the next exhibition in his gallery at 522 West 22nd Street. The exhibition includes twenty sculptures, paintings, and drawings from the 1970s, many of which are exhibited for the first time in nearly forty years.
Eight wood sculptures covered in bands of rich color are on view. In addition to Truitt鈥檚 signature totemic columns, three horizontal works are included. Truitt鈥檚 sculptures were created with a labor-intensive process involving many layers of hand-applied paint, each sanded to a fine finish. Anne M. Wagner writes of the exhibition鈥檚 five white-on-white paintings from the Arundel series, 鈥渢he elusive delicacy of their execution somehow creates the impression of a spatial expanse.鈥� In the other paintings, Truitt used wide brushes to sweep paint over large areas, sometimes in one long unbroken stroke. Drawing was a daily ritual for Truitt, and a number of works on paper are being exhibited for the first time.
