RICHARD TUTTLE
Purple.

Portfolio with complete text and 7 color aquatints on Somerset Textured Soft White paper, 2001. 525x504 mm; 20 3/4x19 7/8 inches (sheets), full margins, loose as issued. Each signed, titled, dated and numbered 4/15 in pencil, lower margin. Printed and published by Crown Point Press, San Francisco, with the blind stamps lower right. Original cream linen portfolio. Very good impressions.

The title of the portfolio references the tiny amount of purple added to the ink of each aquatint. As Tuttle has stated, "All art has to have an accounting for the invisible."
