Richard Tuttle

Artist, American, born 1941

The image shows a series of curved and angular lines forming a vertical sequence of scalloped shapes on a plain background, creating an abstract composition. The design resembles the edge of a gear or a stylized saw blade, with each segment connected smoothly to the next in a cascade effect. The visual simplicity and repetition of these curves suggest the side profile of a paper fan partially opened.
