An­ne Truitt — Pio­neer of Mi­ni­mal Art in Düs­sel­dorf

The Kunst­samm­lung Nord­rhein-West­fa­len is pre­sen­ting a com­pre­hen­si­ve re­tro­s­pec­ti­ve of the Ame­ri­can ar­tist and wri­ter An­ne Truitt (1921–2004) for the first time in Eu­ro­pe. Over 100 im­pres­si­ve works span­ning four de­ca­des of ar­tis­tic crea­ti­on make the show a spe­cial high­light for lo­vers of mi­ni­mal art. Truitt is one of the most in­flu­en­ti­al per­so­na­li­ties of this art mo­ve­ment, which is cha­rac­te­ri­sed by clear forms, bright co­lours and the pur­su­it of es­sence. In the tra­di­ti­on of gre­ats such as Do­nald Judd, Ro­bert Mor­ris and Imi Knoe­bel, Truitt com­bi­nes the ex­pres­si­ve power of co­lour wi­th the emo­tio­nal qua­li­ties of space and form. Her works en­cou­ra­ge us to ex­plo­re the re­la­ti­onship bet­ween ma­te­ri­al, per­cep­ti­on and emo­ti­on from a new per­spec­ti­ve.

The ex­hi­bi­ti­on ta­kes place at K20 at Grab­beplatz 5 in Düs­sel­dorf and is open from Tues­day to Sun­day and on pu­blic ho­li­days from 11 am to 6 pm.

Wi­th its ex­hi­bi­ti­on, the art coll­ec­tion in­vi­tes vi­si­tors to dis­co­ver the aes­the­tic and in­tellec­tu­al in­fluence of An­ne Truitt and to be in­spi­red by the depth and be­au­ty of her works.
