This publication is published on the occasion of Richard Tuttle’s exhibition “San, Shi, Go” held at Tomio Koyama Gallery Kyobashi from April 4 to May 17, 2025.

Tuttle himself conceived the book concept, resulting in an original publication design that encapsulates the artist’s distinctive worldview.

In addition to images of the works and installation views, the catalogue includes a dialogue between Richard Tuttle and Thomas Ryckman, Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at Stanford University. The publication offers insight into the relationships among “number,” “color,” and “concept” in Tuttle’s work, while also evoking the expanded materiality of the book itself.

We invite you to explore this publication, which conveys the depth of Richard Tuttle’s thought.
