one of the perks of being a crafty college kid in dc is seeing all the crafty grown-ups that swing into town. enter: tim gunn and his surprisingly stoic comrade martin puryear. the hirshhorn museum and sculpture garden just opened an exhibition on anne truitt, a contemporary artist whose floating columns of color completely changed the landscape of minimalism. so influential and charming was she that a group of her pupils (gunn), friends (puryear) and scholars (curator kristin hileman) gathered to discuss everything right and wonderful with truitt.mr. gunn was just as charming, engaging and diplomatic as you see on the television box. job well done.
check out anne truitt.
