Richard Tuttle und die Alten Meister

In April 2014 we hosted an event in our gallery to introduce the press to the first retrospective
exhibition of Richard Tuttle’s prints; it opened at the Bowdoin College Museum of Art in June,
2014. The original idea was to show a selection of Richard’s prints as backdrop to the event in
which the artist and the curator, Christina von Rotenhan, would discuss the main aims and
themes of the forthcoming show. When he arrived at the gallery the day before the event to
oversee the installment, Richard decided to playfully combine his own prints with a variety of
old master prints from our stock. The result was so stunning that we kept what had merely been
intended as a little display for the press as a “pop-up” exhibition for three days. Further, we were
fortunate to be able to enlist Cameron Blaylock to document this exciting show with his
photographs.
