Remembering Sol LeWitt, born on this day in 1928. Like other artists associated with Minimalism
Remembering Sol LeWitt, born on this day in 1928. Like other artists associated with Minimalism and Conceptualism, LeWitt sought a means of direct and objective expression. He often produced works in series using a simple modular unit—in this case, the open cube—to create hundreds of artworks that articulate the possible variations and configurations. Consisting of systematically arranged rows and stacks of cubes, 13/11 is one of LeWitt’s three-dimensional “structures.” With its complex lattice of white lines and gray shadows, the work is as visually compelling as it is formally precise. -- source link
