VIDEO: Richard Tuttle: Reality & Illusion
From the series, ART21 Exclusive
"A lot of my work is about not being able to do something well. It tries to locate itself in a place where appreciation of craft is not necessarily part of the appreciation of the piece. Nobody could tell me how to do the craftsmanship that's in this piece. It comes, really, from inside." --Richard Tuttle
Premiered on May 14, 2009

VIDEO: Keltie Ferris Spray Paints in Solitude
From the series, ART21 New York Close Up
"My paintings are about seeing through to other worlds. That's what abstraction is. It's not about things that are nameable; it's sort of like trying to undo the nameable things in life." --Keltie Ferris
