Anne Truitt, an artist based in Washington D.C. for most of her career, remains an under-recognized force in post-1960's art, which has been dominated by artists such as Donald Judd and Ellsworth Kelly who strongly influenced the movement now known as Minimalism. This volume, and the accompanying exhibition, will form an important part of the re-evaluation of Truitt's art, due to the scope of work which it presents. A wide range of three-dimensional works will be presented, as well as examples of two-dimensional series on canvas and 24 works on paper. At the heart of this volume are the columnar sculptures that became the hallmark of Truitt's profoundly focused practice, and that made her so significant to the development of minimal abstraction. Truitt's work has never before been the subject of a complete monographic survey; publication of "Anne Truitt: Perception and Reflection" in 2009 will significantly increase our understanding of post-1960's art.

Hardcover. Color pictorial paper over boards; Color pictorial dj.; 176 pp.; Profusely illustrated, mostly in color. A nice, bright and sharp copy. "Anne Truitt (1921-2004) is a heroine of American Minimalism, an increasingly admired artist whose journals (Daybook, Prospect, Turn) have a longstanding and devoted readership, but whose art has not previously been the subject of a substantial monograph. Perception and Reflection remedies this historical oversight superbly and decisively. The evolution of Truitt's sensibility is at once a classic Minimalist story and the tale of a truly independent spirit: following an encounter with the black paintings of Ad Reinhardt at the Guggenheim in 1961, she abandoned her earlier sculptural style and began to make stark, columnar works inscribed with bands of sometimes bright and sometimes quiet color. Truitt's account of this transition betrays her rare clarity and sensitivity: "I thought to myself, 'If I make a sculpture, it will just stand up straight and the seasons will go around it and the light will go around it and it will record time."--Amazon.
