Richard Tuttle / Charles Bernstein - Reading Red - Walther König 1998

Artist’s book and poetry collaboration between Richard Tuttle and Charles Bernstein, produced in response to Tuttle’s New Mexico–New York works first exhibited at Sperone Westwater in New York in 1998. The book brings together 25 reproductions of Tuttle’s paintings with 25 short poems by Bernstein, conceived as a dialogue between image and text. Tuttle designed the publication as a physical sequence: three large circular sheets are folded into the binding and unfold as the book is opened, requiring the reader to move around the object in order to follow the work. The unusual format makes the book itself an integral part of the collaboration, extending Tuttle’s interest in colour, sequence and spatial perception into the act of reading.
