Catalogue to accompany the exhibition Anne Truitt: Pioneer of Minimal Art, presented by Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen K20 and curated by Vivien Trommer. This is the first European retrospective of the work of Anne Truitt. Bringing together 120 works spanning more than four decades, the show features Truitt’s sculptures of the early 1960s, her works on paper, the white-on-white Arundel paintings, and the Pith series—among the final works she produced. Highlights include her early, vividly colored sculptures Hardcastle (1962), Remembered Sea (1971), and Quipe (1984); and shown for the first time since the 1960s is Summer Run (1964), a rare metal sculpture produced during Truitt’s time in Japan. Large-scale, elongated paintings such as Echo (1973) and Ojibwa (1993) underscore her lifelong exploration of color as both structure and sensation. 

"What I was basically trying to do was take the image off the wall so that color could unfold freely in space," Truitt said. Twenty years after her death, this extensively illustrated catalogue, co-published by Hatje Cantz Verlag, introduces Truitt's oeuvre to a broad European audience for the first time.
