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.

Publication
"What I was basically trying to do was take the image off the wall so that color could unfold freely in space," Truitt said. Twenty years after her death, this publication, which accompanies the first comprehensive traveling exhibition of her work, introduces Truitt's oeuvre to a broad European audience for the first time. It presents her groundbreaking sculptures from the early 1960s, the white Arundel Paintings from the 1970s, as well as numerous works on paper and rare archival material.
