Most people think colour is already a dead subject, but the artist on the other hand sees it as really the opposite, a complete inexhaustible subject.
In October 2014 Richard Tuttle unveiled his largest work to date in the vast space of the Turbine Hall at Tate Modern. A large white octagonal shape, cut from paper and glued against the white gallery wall ... It feels like the antithesis of painting.
Entitled I Don’t Know . The Weave of Textile Language, the sculpture combines vast sways of fabrics designed by the artist from both man-made and natural fibres in bold and brilliant colours.
