The Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen is delighted to present the first comprehensive European exhibition of the work of US-American artist and writer Anne Truitt (1921–2004). Showcasing the work of one of the most influential women artists of Minimal Art, the exhibition features more than 100 impressive works spanning four decades. Minimalism, popularized by artists such as Donald Judd, Blinky Palermo und Carmen Herrera is characterized by the use of simple forms, vibrant colors, and a focus on clarity and essence. In the exhibition, Truitt’s works invite viewers to engage with the emotional aspects of color, form, and space.


 

The exhibition is organized by the Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen, Düsseldorf, Musée de Grenoble, and Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Madrid, and is made possible through support from the Terra Foundation for American Art and the Ernst von Siemens Kunststiftung.
