Heuristic Research
Anne Truitt
http://www.annetruitt.org/bio
In 1949 Truitt studied sculpture for one academic year at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Washington, D.C., followed by three months at the Dallas Museum of Fine Art. Following this formal training, she experimented with various media and techniques, including clay, cast cement and plaster, and steel welding. In 1961 Truitt began to work in the style for which she later became known: painting multiple delicate layers of color characterized by subtle variations onto wooden constructions fabricated in accordance with scale drawings; the structural elements of these sculptures constitute armatures supporting color. Writing in April 1965, Truitt stated: "What is important to me is not geometrical shape per se, or color per se, but to make a relationship between shape and color which feels to me like my experience. To make what feels to me like reality."
Research this artist in the collections of these galleries and museums:
Today her work is in the collections of many leading museums in the United States, among them the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C., and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York. Her work is also represented in international collections, notably the Panza Collection in Italy. Truitt has been the subject of several solo museum exhibitions, including at the Whitney Museum of American Art, 1974; the Corcoran Gallery of Art, 1975; and at the Baltimore Museum of Art, 1992. The Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden mounted a major retrospective of her work in 2009. In 2017, the Dia Art Foundation announced a major acquisition of Truitt sculpture and painting. These and other works by the artist are now on view at Dia:Beacon, New York, as part of a new, long-term installation.
