Masculin, by Richard Tuttle, is an interlocking system of moving tables in an edition of 10 sculptures. Each work consists of two plywood tables, one covered in faux-wood grain Formica laminate and the other revealing its natural grain. The tables raise and lower by a handmade system of gears, hovering at the intersection of art and functional object.

About the Artist
Richard Tuttle (b. 1941, Roselle, NJ) has been exhibiting internationally since his 1965 exhibition of constructed paintings at the Betty Parsons Gallery. The subject of a major retrospective at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art in 2005, Tuttle’s practice has resisted categorization while remaining integral to an understanding of post-1960 contemporary art.
