Imagine the countless found-object junk sculptures there are to be seen on any given day in contemporary art galleries around the world. Certainly none come close to Richard Tuttle’s in terms of audacity, verve and finesse. After several Tuttle shows of comparatively sedate, wall-hung fabric pieces, it is exciting to see the artist back in action with his wacky and elaborate free-standing sculptures and installations. In his hands-and with a little imagination from the viewer—abject elements and blithe gestures signal epic monuments and lyrical statements.
