Anne Truitt

Anne Truitt (née Dean; March 16, 1921 – December 23, 2004) was an American sculptor. She became well known in the late 1960s for her large-scale minimalist sculptures, especially after her influential solo show at André Emmerich Gallery in 1963 and a group show at the Jewish Museum (Manhattan) in 1966. Unlike her contemporaries, she made her own sculptures by hand, eschewing industrial processes. Drawing from imagery from her past, her work also deals with the visual trace of memory and nostalgia. This is exemplified by a series of early sculptures resembling monumental segments of white picket fence.
