Truitt’s Sea Garden (1964) is one of forty-one works included in the exhibition “Primary Structures: Younger American and British Sculpture” at the Jewish Museum, New York. Organized by the museum’s curator of painting and sculpture, Kynaston McShine, the show is credited with introducing Minimal Art to a wider American audience, and with expanding the definition of the movement to include a range of geometric sculptural abstraction.
