Co-published with David Kordansky Gallery, Calder/Tuttle:Tentative unites the distinct artistic vocabularies of Richard Tuttle and Alexander Calder in a singular volume, offering a fresh perspective on the legacy of modernist abstraction.

Richard Tuttle has long been interested in questions of perception surrounding line and scale, which he explores in his compositions and constructions using non-traditional mediums, materials, and methods. In Calder/Tuttle:Tentative, the artist looks to the oeuvre of the great Alexander Calder for inspiration and creative dialogue.

Calder/Tuttle: Tentative

Running from January 21 to February 25, the show, titled Calder/Tuttle:Tentative, was presented in collaboration with the Calder Foundation. Brought to life through Tuttle’s vision, the exhibition focused on Calder’s artistic output in 1939, bringing together small- and medium-scale sculptures— including a masterful untitled mobile that was exhibited for the first time—as well as a selection of works on paper created by the artist that year.
