Anne Truitt's 'Second Requiem' Exhibition Reviewed on Artcritical

On October 11, 2013, Artcritical published a review of Anne Truitt's exhibition 'Second Requiem', which displayed her minimalist sculptures and paintings characterized by geometric shapes and gentle color transitions. Truitt, whose career spanned from the 1960s until her passing in 2004, was recognized for her impact on post-painterly abstraction and minimalism, delving into themes of memory, time, and perception. The review emphasized her use of industrial materials, such as acrylic on wood, along with her careful layering technique. The exhibition included both freestanding sculptures and wall-mounted panels, merging color field painting with minimalist sculpture. The title alluded to musical pieces for the deceased, mirroring Truitt's reflective nature. Her family oversees her estate, and her works are housed in prominent collections, including the Whitney Museum and the National Gallery of Art.
