Art-99; a 99 word review.

Richard Tuttle @ Pace through April 25, 2009

Each work was composed of two long, horizontal panels of fabric, grommeted so that they overlapped slightly in the center.  As always, Tuttle varies everything it is possible to vary, the apparent level of transformation of the fabric, the two panels' visual similarity, the saturation of hues, even the number of dimensions fluctuates in more than one way: the suggestion of landscape is dangled and snatched away,  while perfectly non-pictorial works are pierced by roughly woven strands. He maximizes the tension between the object itself and its aesthetic value by dialing up and down the appearance of artistry.
