White Cotton Octagonal

1971

Richard Tuttle

Sculptor, American, born 1941

An eight-sided, parchment-white cloth is stretched out and pinned to a wall in this square photograph. The sides are different lengths, and the work is hung angled down to our left. The fabric is puckered in some places, so it casts faint shadows across its surface. There is a light brown stain at the corner near the middle left.
