Galerie Christian Lethert is pleased to announce its second solo exhibition by American artist Richard Tuttle. New works on paper will be shown, unframed, to underline their lightness, and yet reading the title one already senses that they have a certain heaviness and darkness at the same time. Richard Tuttle presents these new works in a kind of experimental setting, with the aim of giving them as much space as possible. Herb Vogel, a friend of Richard Tuttle’s, once said aptly: ‘Richard has too many ideas for one work, so he has to spread them out.’
Around 7 pm Richard Tuttle personally presents his new book A Fair Sampling—Collected Writings 1965–2018, published by Verlag der Buchhandlung Walther König.








Since the 1960s Richard Tuttle combines in his multifarious œuvre sculpture and language in a sensitive manner. Using everyday materials for his fragile, small and subtle paintings as well as sculptural objects and large-size installations, Tuttle achieves poetical compositions.
The gallery was founded by Christian Lethert in August 2006 in Cologne and focuses on a contemporary abstract-minimalist program.
