Richard Tuttle's «W - Shaped
Yellow Canvas» (1967), a dyed, unstretched canvas cut into a shape suggestive of a
long, open
rectangle folded over on itself, retains a handmade quality not associated with the term «minimalism.»
It is also a singular statement, in a familiar, minimal form — like Wolfgang Laib's floor - bound
rectangles of
yellow pollen, Richard
Long's stones or Antony Gormley's fields of thousands of little humanoids.
