Anne Truitt October 4, 2008

The first major exhibition of Truitt's work since her death in 2004, 'Anne Truitt' is a full survey of the sculpture and two-dimensional works made during the artist's 40-year career. A variety of three-dimensional works will be on view-suggestive of vernacular architectural forms from the artist's native Eastern Shore in which she explored the effects of scale and proportion. The retrospective also presents the column sculptures that became the hallmark of Truitt's profoundly focused practice. In many ways acting as a painter as well as a sculptor, the artist wrapped color around the corners of many of these sculptures, creating visually poetic relationships between the structural plane and the color plane. The exhibition is organized by assistant curator Kristen Hileman and will be accompanied by the first complete monograph on the artist.
