Anne Truitt (1921-2004) was an American sculptor whose work bridges color field and minimalism, while belonging to neither. Truitt’s sensibility drew from disparate sources: her friendship with Clement Greenberg and Kenneth Noland, her love of Marcel Proust, and three years in Japan (where her husband served with the U.S. Department of State). She exhibited at the Andre Emmerich Gallery and was the subject of a retrospective at the Whitney Museum of American Art, Anne Truitt: Sculpture and Drawings, 1961—1973 (December 19, 1973—January 27, 1974). In recent years her work has been exhibited at the Matthew Marks Gallery in New York and Los Angeles, the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., and Dia Beacon. Today she is recognized, along with Agnes Martin, as a pioneering and independent spirit in abstract art in the twentieth century. Truitt’s penetrating intellect is documented in Always Reaching: The Selected Writings of Anne Truitt, edited by Alexandra Truitt (2023: Yale University Press), and four volumes of journals and daybooks.
