Richard Tuttle

Sculptor, American, born 1941

The sculpture is a simple, abstract form resembling the shape of the letter "M" or a zigzag pattern composed of smooth curves. It is made from metal and colored a deep, glossy shade of blue. The sculpture has a minimalist design and stands independently, with each end touching the surface. It appears relatively small and light, casting a soft shadow on the plain white background.
