From October 14 to December 14, 2014, Whitechapel Gallery hosted a textile-centric survey of Richard Tuttle, alongside monumental sculptures at Tate Modern, emphasizing the often-overlooked significance of textiles. The exhibition at Whitechapel included works spanning from 1969 to 2014, showcasing early Wire Pieces from 1971-2, each accompanied by poetic texts. Meanwhile, Tate Modern displayed large, vibrant textile works in the Turbine Hall. Gerhard Richter's exhibition at Marian Goodman Gallery, running from October 14 to December 20, 2014, featured over 40 pieces, including new additions to his Strip series. Additionally, Pedro Cabrita Reis presented The London Angles from October 16 to December 6, 2014, while Jill Baroff's show at Bartha Contemporary took place from October 14 to November 22, 2014.
