Anne Truitt: Luminosities
Delaware Art Museum
October 15, 2011 – January 8, 2012
The male-dominated Minimal art movement of the 1960s was characterized by an interest in basic geometric shapes and the use of industrially-produced materials. Although many critics consider Anne Truitt (1921–2004) to be a pioneer of Minimal art, she set herself apart from the movement by focusing instead on color and content. Anne Truitt: Luminosities, on view October 15, 2011 – January 8, 2012, celebrates the groundbreaking work of this prolific artist with a 12-piece exhibition, including the Museum’s recently acquired sculpture Thirtieth (1962) and 11 works on paper from the 1970s and 1980s.
