IohnS,WebeT

David A. Ross Idea, method, and honesty are central to Sol LeWitt’s work. So while a Sol LeWit\
retrospective offers us a rare opportunity to see gathered together the work of an
extremely influential artist, it also provides us with several other things: a way of
understanding the complexity of contemporary art, a method of considering
contemporary art history within the history of ideas, and the way in which ideas
form the basis of the art of our time.
When not characterized as a grand parade of heroic genius, the history ot' art is
alternately portrayed as a contest for national cultural dominance, a struggle between
distinct aesthetic philosophies, or simply as a contest of competing styles. lt would
seem to be a struggle for cultural dominance, a near-Darwinian exercise in the survival
of the fittest aesthetic. Given the nature of an art history constructed in a century
that lurched from war to war, this model should not be surprising, lt seems, however,
that there may be another method of developing an understanding of our times; one
that relies neither on hagiography nor the continuation of politics by other means,
The method I suggest is one made possible by this retrospective exhibition and its
accompanying publication; an exhibition that attempts to foreground the evolution
of an artist`s working method and well-articulated intentions. The central purpose
of this retrospective, celebration aside, is to provoke a thorough understanding of Sol
LeWitt’s contribution both within and despite the constraints of contemporaneous
art historical categorization,
For example, the movement known by the evocative but relatively meaningless
term “Conceptualism" provided an epistemological exploration of art-an essentially
philosophical investigation into the mechanics of how art conveys meaning. Not
surprisingly, it emerged as an analog to the structuralist study of literature with its base
in linguistic theory, Following a period in which artists sought ways to convey aesthetic
experience in as authentic a manner as possible, Conceptual art stripped art-making as
far back as it could go, resolving its underlying structure to reveal its essential character.
The style of Conceptualism was deeply influenced by a parallel set of developments
emerging from Minimalism-the philosophically rigorous approach to the making
of art which sought in direct experience a new foundation for art’s purpose. But
Conceptual art was often discursive (and text-based), and as a result often looked
unusually dry, especially when seen in the context of the personal and informal style
that accompanied the contiguous tendency known as Post-Minimalism.
At the same time there was something extremely courageous and honest about
Conceptual art`s ambition. It seemed to resonate with a generation of artists and critics
who were fully ready to make the moral and aesthetic commitment necessary to this
enormously honest way of working. And, as important, the spirit of enquiry and the
nature of the questioning itself proved to be resonant not only within a generation
caught up in the social fervor of the late sixties, it has proven to have been quite influential
on the succeeding generations of Post-Conceptual artists as well. Mindful of the caveat
that when speaking about art one should never generalize unnecessarily, if one thing
can be said of this generation of late twentieth-century artists, it is that nearly all have
incorporated the lessons of Conceptualism into their work,
Therefore this moment early in the new century is a highly appropriate time to assess
seriously the work of Sol LeWitt-the protean artist who perhaps more than any of his
peers can be seen as an artist who was able to not only help formulate and promulgate
Conceptualism, but who most successfully embedded these ideas into a working method
that bridged all the interlocking tendencies of his era. His works based on sets of instruc
tions insist on a level of democracy in art that still seems shocking in its simplicity
l.eWitt’s wall drawings, structures, and works on paper continue to astonish with their
pared-down means and absolute intellectual clarity, resulting in works giving unabashed
aesthetic pleasure. It is nearly impossible to overstate how critically important his work
has been from its Hrst appearance in the mid-igoos to his most recent exhibitions in
1999. But perhaps most astonishing is how completely fresh his work remains without
having deviated from the intellectual clarity that distinguishes the entirety of his output.
Fortunately, in this exl1ibition, organized by Gary Garrels, Elise S. Haas chief curator and
curator of painting and sculpture, the full range of LeWitt as a sculptor, draftsman, and
theorist without equal is revealed and explored with the precision and intelligibility it
both commands and deserves. We are indeed grateful to Garrels, who worked closely with
the artist for more than four years in organizing this luminous and exquisite exl1ibition.
Together with the artist himself and Susanna Singer, the artist`s longtime close associate,
Garrels has assembled a comprehensive overview of four decades of l.eWitt`s work, and
in so doing has made it possible for all of us to understand better and finally to celebrate
the work of a great American artist. Sol LeWitt has been characteristically gracious
and generous with his time and energy. LeWitt also deserves our thanks for his direct
contribution to the catalogue's design; its precision and intelligibility bears the artist’s
signature categorically.
After the presentation at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the exhibition will
be shown at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, and the Whitney Museum of
American Art, New York. We are pleased to be sharing this exhibition with these museums
and are grateful to our colleagues, Robert Fitzpatrick, director, and Elizabeth Smith, chief
curator, at the MCA; and Maxwell Anderson, director, Willard Holmes, deputy director,
and Eugenie Tsai, associate director for curatorial affairs, at the Whitney, for their support
and work on this project.
Finally, on behalf of SFMOMA and its trustees I would like to acknowledge the gener
ous gifts of Banana Republic and Charles Schwab & Co., Inc., whose support of this
exhibition is dedicated in deep appreciation to both the artist and curator. Early support
from the Henry Luce Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts was critical.
Additional generous assistance has been provided by Patricia and William Wilson Ill;
Henry S. McNeil; The Modern Art Council, an auxiliary of SFMOMA, which selected this
exhibition for their annual significant exhibition support; and The Argent Hotel, hotel
sponsor for this project. Without these benevolent contributions this important under»
taking would not have been possible.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Gary Garrels Almost as soon as I arrived at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art in the (all
of l993» I raised the idea that a full-scale retrospective ofthe work of Sol LeWitt was over
due, and Iohn R. Lane, then the director, readily supported this proposal, A sumptuous
survey ot' LeWitt's wall drawings at the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover,
Massachusetts, that spring had galvanized our attention, convincing both of us that the
quality and reach of LeWitt`s work since the survey at The Museum of Modern Art in
New York in 1978 merited a comprehensive overview, and there was a need especially
to see the full, uninterrupted arc ot' LeWitt`s career from the 1960s through the 19905.
We also realized this would be an enormously ambitious undertaking,
When approached with the idea of such an exhibition, LeWitt was skeptical ofthe
need or purpose of such an undertaking, his attention, rightfully for an artist, being
focused on new ideas, new work, and his time in the studio, Slowly, however, over the
course of several conversations and months, stretching into years, the potential for such
an exhibition began to emerge. Sometime after the opening of SFMOMA`s new building
in 1995, we realized we had indeed embarked on organizing a retrospective,
So I must first thank Sol LeWitt, who has been a full partner in this project, who has
given unstintingly of his time and thought, who has generously answered query after
query, and has coped admirably with shifting logistics and the complexities of having a
large»scale institutional partner make seemingly unending demands, His imagination
and commitment, his quickness of response and patience, his resolve and good humor
have made this project a pleasure and privilege to have undertaken.
Susanna Singer, who has worked closely with LeWitt for more than twenty years,
and who knows and understands his work better than any other individual, has been
my alter-ego on this project. From the smallest detail to the most abstract concept, her
attention was at hand. My respect for her is unflagging, and this is a much better project
at every level because ot' her tireless involvement.
LeWitt has assembled a team over many years whose assistance has been essential.
Their loyalty and commitment speak both to the quality of LeWitt’s art and the character
of the man. Particular thanks go to Ianet Passehl. curator and registrar of the LeWitt
Collection, and Io Watanabe, who led the execution of the wall drawings along with his
expert team: Sachiko Cho, Iohn Hogan, Emily Ripley, Tomas Ramberg, Anthony Sansotta.
Mio St. Clair, and Wim Starkenburg. Kazuko Miyamoto and Yoshitsugu Nakama fabricated
many ofthe structures in the exhibition,
This book produced in conjunction with the exhibition has had a life of its own, and
we hope will live on long after the exhibition as a fundamental reference for LeWitt`s
work. Sol LeWitt has been integrally involved in its conception and design, and Susanna
Singer has functioned as editor-at»large. Graphic designer Bethany lohns has collaborated
with the artist to produce a book of finesse and clarity, reflecting both the intelligence
and the visual pleasure of the work, With a keen overview and broad perspective loseph
N. Newland has edited a large number of authors with disparate voices to form a cohesive
frame around the work and we are grateful for his forbearance of the myriad editorial
challenges of this project. Sara Eichner provided valuable production assistance and
Shariann Michael contributed her expertise as a research and editorial assistant and
we are indebted to them for their dedication and good humor, At SFMOMA, Kara Kirk,
director of publications and graphic design, and Chad Coerver, publications manager,
have brought enthusiasm and insightful judgment, patience and perseverance to
demanding and complicated requirements. They were assisted in this endeavor by
Alexandra Chappell, publications coordinator, Teresa Tauchi, expert proofreader, and
Pilar Rubin, intern.
To have such a distinguished group of authors all accept, with enthusiasm and
dedication, the invitation to write about this work again is a tribute to LeWitt, For
adding another responsibility to already demanding lives, I want to thank Martin
Friedman, Andrea Miller-Keller, Brenda Richardson, Anne Rorimer, Adam Weinberg,
and Iohn Weber, who are not only colleagues but friends. Thanks are also due to the
galleries, institutions, and private lenders (listed on page 416) who generously pro
vided photographs for use in the book’s extensive survey of LeWitt`s work,
To help support this publication, Sol LeWitt very generously agreed to produce a
new graphic work to be included with a special edition of the book. Kathan Brown
and Crown Point Press, San Francisco, longtime printers and publishers of LeWitt
graphic works, readily agreed to take on this responsibility and we are very grateful for
their contribution.
My coworkers at SFMOMA embraced this project with tireless professionalism and
boundless good spirits, keeping it on track at every turn. If there were a superbowl for
museums, this team would be a contender. Given the scale and demands of this project,
nearly every member of the museum’s staff has been involved in one way or another,
and I deeply appreciate all of their efforts, but I particularly want to extend thanks to
Susan Avila, director of development; Michelle Barger, objects conservator; Olga Charyshyn,
registrar, exhibitions; lay Finneyn director of marketing and communications; Lori Fogarty
senior deputy director; Evan Forfar, chief preparator; Adrienne Gagnon, curatorial associ
ate; Libby Garrison, public relations associate; Keiko Hayashi, graphic design manager;
Barbara Levine, former exhibitions director; Carrie Mahan, associate director of develop»
ment; Terri] Neely, senior graphic designer; Iennifer 0`Neal, administrative assistant;
Kent Roberts, exhibition design manager; Peter Samis, program manager for interactive
technologies and associate curator of education; Will Shank, former chief conservator;

director; Stephanie Verkauf, former associate director of development, corporate partner
ships; Iohn Weber, the Leanne and George Roberts curator of education and public
programs; and Greg Wilson, framer. I especially thank David A, Ross, director, who joined
the museum when this project was well on its way and brought renewed enthusiasm and
commitment to our efforts.

SOL LEWITTZ AN INTRODUCTION
Gary Garrels Clarity, beauty, playfulness. Simplicity, logic, openness. The words which come to mind
in beginning to describe the work of Sol LeWitt resonate with essential aesthetic and
intellectual values. His works are straightforward and legible. Yet, upon closer observation
and consideration, even those that initially appear direct and obvious reveal complex
subtlety in decision-making. Intellectual substance is paired with visual delight, both of
which seep, sometimes immediately, but often slowly, into one`s consciousness.
Across four decades and many forms and materials LeWitt’s work consistently calls
forth the same character. Fundamental beliefs and attitudes about art and life underpin
all of his work. Yet he has assiduously avoided either an ideological ur theoretical program.
One can say that in his work he champions equality, accessibility, open exchange, and
public space.‘ These are values at the heart of democracy, extending the principles at
the core ofthe American republic, inherited from classical Athens. His work has roots
also in the values of early twentieth-century European art movements-Constructivism
in Russia, the Bauhaus in Germany, and DeStijl in Holland. LeWitt builds on these
foundations of moral purpose, re-engaging both classical humanism and the romantic
utopianism of the pioneers of abstract art,
LeWitt’s fecundity is staggering. Perhaps not since Picasso has an artist worked with
such relentlessness and range. There are now more than goo wall drawings, executed
directly on the wall in pencil, crayon, ink washes, and recently acrylic paint. There are
similarly hundreds of drawings on paper, in an even wider range of media, although
primarily pencil, ink, and gouache. And though there are substantially fewer of his three
dimensional structures than two-dimensional works, there are scores of these, ranging
in size from modest maquettes and human-scale objects to room-sized installations and
monumental, outdoor public works. Graphics, photographs, books, posters, and some
number of commercial consumer objects almost indefinitely extend his production,
Moreover, LeWitt’s work has not stood still. He is one of the key Figures from the
decade of the 1960s, bridging the movements of Minimal and Conceptual art. ln the 1970s
he inventively opened up the ideas and forms grounded in those movements, The work
ot' these two decades was admirably presented and examined in a mid-career survey
organized by The Museum of Modern Art, New York, in 1978.1 However, that was the
last overview exhibition of LeWitt`s oeuvre. The early 1980s saw a marked shift involving
sensual color and surfaces, myriad geometric forms and their permutations, and a more
explicitly sensual and expressive overall character. In the last five years, the vitality and

In the mid»198os the simple, drawn lines that were the origin of the wall drawings and
their dominant element through the 197os were transformed into bands-structural and
architectonic partners to the environments in which they were executed (pls. 230-32 and
226). Squares were supplanted by cubes, and triangles by pyramids, in myriad configura
tions; these quickly metamorphosed into linked chains and fragments, playing hide and
seek with their architectural hosts (pl. 170). These ideas were pushed even further in 1988
for a grand installation in the Italian pavilion at the Venice Biennale. At t.l1e center of the
room, irregular faceted forms jutted from the floor like white crystalline eruptions, what
LeWitt would call “complex formsf’ surrounded on the walls by fractured forms rendered
in bright colors (pl. 254). Later he completely dissolved the wall as a visual support, with
origami-like folded shapes extending without recognition of physical boundaries, opening
up a freer and more indefinite sense of space (pl. 247).
Also in the mid-19805, a new material was introduced for outdoor structures, concrete
blocks, which could be obtained almost anywhere in the world, were relatively inexpensive,
and like the elements of the early wall drawings could be deployed by workers with only
basic skills. The lirst such structures were variations on the cube, the essential building
block of LeWitt’s visual vocabulary (pl. 283), But he quickly developed more complicated
ideas, and just as with the wall drawings, the more sophisticated the skills of the people
executing these works, the more nuanced and subtle the results could be (pl. 294).
There was a marked increase in the number of commissions for both private and public
spaces during the eighties. The new character of the wall drawings especially enabled
LeWitt to create works that could hold their own in dramatic architectural settings. In
the nineties, large-scale commissions, both wall drawings and structures, became an ever
more important part of his work.
Without completely jettisoning earlier vocabularies, in the 1990s LeWitt moved into
even freer and more playful ways of working. Contained forms in the wall drawings have
given way increasingly to expansive, open-ended methods of composition-irregular
hands, undulating waves, swirling nets, pulsing and fractured shapes, and most recently
what I.eWitt simply has called "blobs" (pls. 313-14, 326, and 329). His use of color has
become more variegated and complex. In 1997, he began working often with acrylic paint
and the colors are now purer, sassy, and electric. A very recent proposal for new stmctures
extends some of these new ideas into three-dimensional form (pls. 333-38).
Works on paper have remained integral to the development of new directions, and in
fact have been an area of intensified interest in recent years. Gouache, an opaque cousin
of watercolor, which allows greater saturation of color, is LeWitt`s preferred and almost
exclusive medium for drawing on paper. He has made large series of works such as
One-, Two-, Three-, and Four-Par! Combinations nfl/erriral. Horizontal, and Diagonal
Left and Rxgln Brands oftfolon 1993-94, a set of sixty-four 30 x 22-inch sheets (Hg. 8). He
has also pushed the scale to equal that of extremely large paintings on canvas, using single
sheets that measure 5 x to feet, or in the case of Four-Part Brushslrakes, 1994, extending
the length to twenty feet by joining four sheets of paper end to end, each measuring
4 x 5 feet (pl. 361).

UNEXPECTED DIRECTIONSI SOL LEWITT'S WALL DRAWINGS
Brenda Richardson When asked if he accepted as accurate a published description of himself as "the originator
ofwall drawings," Sol LeWitt replied dryly, "I think the cave men came first."‘ Though
cave drawings are appreciated as art, the actual motivations of the cave dwellers in drawing
on their walls may never be known. Few would suggest, however, that the graceful drawings
discovered on prehistoric cave walls were products of self-conscious, informed, conceptual
thinking about the nature and meaning of art and the boundaries between the artwork,
the space in which it is presented, and its viewers.
LeWitt first drew an artwork on the wall in October 1968 for u group show at the
Paula Cooper Gallery in New York. The artist had been thinking about working directly
on the wall for more than a year.‘ He had come to feel that it was sensible to eliminate
the mediating "support," an approach that would reinforce the llatness he wanted in
his drawings. In the first two clauses ofa text he titled simply "Wall Drawings," published
in 1970, LeWitt wrote: "I wanted to do a work of art that was as two-dimensional as
possible .... lt seems more natural to work directly on walls than to make a construction,
to work on that, and then put the construction on the wall."‘
That hrst drawing on the wall-an untitled installation subsequently catalogued as
Wu1lDruwing #1, Series II14 (A df B), a descriptive identification that derives from a serial
system of permutations LeWitt generated in 1968-was an almost unimaginably radical
act that dramatically influenced the evolution and sequential redefinitions of art over
subsequent decades (pl. 86). The radicality of LeWitt`s wall drawing was not so much
about drawing on the wall per se, which, as the artist himself notes, had precedents
back to prehistory and, perhaps more to the point, had developed naturally within the
sensibility current among LeWitt and his contemporaries in the mid-sixties, Rather, the
revelation of this first wall drawing was in its frank temporality, its seeming obliviousness
to issues of commercial viability, and in its conceptualizer`s denial of the exclusivity of
authorial execution of a handmade artwork. These are the characteristics of LeWitt’s
wall drawings that confound most viewers.
In terms of the marketplace, LeWitt’s wall drawings, quite simply, redefined the terms
by which art could be purchased and owned. At the time of that first wall drawing, however,
the artist was not thinking explicitly of the market issues: “I didn`t think about selling
them but it wasn’t a ‘gesture` as an anti-market ploy either,I never think about selling a
work while doing it."‘ Eventually l.eWitt worked out a system that might best be described
as confirmation of custodianship, that is, a signed certificate and an accompanying drawing
with directions (the certificate is a legal document that authenticates the work in any
subsequent sale or transfer; see hgs. 45-46). Such certificates of authentication have become
common among contemporary artists (Carl Andre, Dan Flavin, Felix Gonzalez-Torres,
and Ienny Holzer, among countless others) whose works are industrially fabricated
and/or subject to unauthorized replication.

The rnostfundarnental law ofnature is that everything that exists in space also
exists in time; artists today work with that knowledge in unforeseen ways .... But
what happens to it when it is disassembled? Does it still exist? lfsa, does it exist as
rope, as potential art, ur as art? Its installation is made synonymous with its existence,
whereas a painting orfixed-form sculpture, no matter how radical its esthetic, does
not literally cease to be when it is in storage. The ontological instability ofthe Bollinger
piece introduces, on the psychological plane, an experience ofanxiety about being,
which has been the chie/"subject ofphilosophy since Descartes. Consciousness as
pro/Jfofexistence is translated in esthetic terms: conception as method ofcreation. 'S
Since that first work in 1968, LeWitt’s wall drawings as ideas have dramatically
advanced not only our definition of what an art "object" can be but also our understand»
ing of how intimately and provocatively art can penetrate our daily lives. Like LeWitt’s
books, which are (counterintuitively) so closely related to the wall drawings, these are
works that exist in a particular time and place, that is. in a unique relationship not so
much with the viewer`s eyes as with the viewer’s mind and sense of being. (The books,
it is true, like the drawings on paper that LeWitt generates so prolitically and with such
incredible energy and invention, exist as tangible things that do not go away at the end of
an exhibition or when a house is sold or redecorated.) In the course of more than three
decades, however, all of these interrelated works-drawings on paper, books, and wall
drawingsfhavc evolved markedly in terms of what they look like, They have matured
with the artist and, in aesthetic terms, they have grown bolder and more dramatic, The
earliest wall drawings were precisely that: transferences to the wall of LeWitt’s exquisite,
delicate, nearly ethereal drawings on paper. ln other words, the artist (or designated
as wiersrassn
assistants or draftspeople) more or less transcribed a preexisting work, adjusting for scale
and adapting materials to wall surfaces typically less forgiving than paper. These early
wall drawings had no inherent relationship to their location.
Andrea Miller»Keller queried LeWitt as early as 1981-83 about the apparent shift in his
wall drawings "from being chaste and reticent to being more assertive, sometimes very
colorful and occasionally even exuberant." To which LeWitt replied, "When presented
with the scale that walls have one must begin to engage their physical properties. The
theatrical and decorative are unavoidable and should be used to emphasive the work," ’“
The work makes it very clear that initially LeWitt developed his ideas by moving sequen
tially through his preferred mediafbooks, then drawings on paper, and Gnally drawings
on the wall. Later (certainly by ig8o, perhaps earlier), and specihcally in response to his
experience with wall-works, the artist seems to have reversed the conceptual sequence,
processing ideas first in wall drawings, then translating them in drawings and books.
Whatever the sequence of influence from one medium to another, the dialogue among
these works has been essential to LeWitt, The link between wall drawings and the ostensibly
very different media of books and discrete drawings on paper is about rational permuta
tions ofa given idea, about seriality and conceptual coherence, about each new installation
(or sheet of paper or page ofa book) building on the one that came before. As we turn
the pages, literally or metaphorically, we develop a context and come to see the whole as
a product of each preceding part.
LeWitt’s wall drawings were created essentially without regard for the specihcs of their
architectural settings for only about two years. A turning point for the work occurred in
the summer of 1970 with Wall Drawing #51 in Turin (pl. 97), for which LeWitt’s directions
were site-specific (‘7\ll architectural points connected by straight lines”); the drawing
was created by three draftsmen using blue chalk snap-lines to demarcate "every possible
connection between corners of light switch plates, elevators, door frames, and walls.”
In I.eWitt`s own words, “the theatrical and decorative" thereafter informed each and every
drawing idea, and the wall-works came to inhabit rather than just visit their sites. lt was
between 1973 and 1976 that the artist`s respect for the function of language was made
most explicit in the wall drawings. In some wall-works of those years, words were incor
porated bythe artist as integral visual components, sometimes nearly dominating the
abstract geometric forms to whose shapes they conformed. In certain of the memorable
“location” drawings of this period (for instance, Wull Dmwing #274, “The location of six
geometric figuresf’ 1975) the crayon shapes served as corrals for LeWitt's meticulous written
instructions-words that carry the force and rhythm of concrete poetry. In other wall
drawings (notably the extraordinarily complex 1976 installation at Spoleto’s Torre Vecchio,
Wall Dmwing #301, “The location of lines and geometric figures," pls. 13213) LeWitt’s
words cannot be corralled, and the neatly penciled, block-printed fragments of language
distinctly dominate the lines and figures. The artist's succinct but somehow always
evocative verbal directions consistently accompany the wall drawings (sometimes printed
as a formal design element in the work, sometimes in a nearby printed label), though in
recent years words have subtly assumed the role of subtext more than text,

specifically on an understanding of the effectiveness of natural
camouflage, international military forces introduced camouflage
programs to protect troops, artillery, supplies, and ships.
Disruptive patterns (first used by the British and dubbed “day/le

disguise their shape and length and to confuse the enemy about

made all the more effective in nature by virtue ofbeing pattern-on-pattern." Lewitt has
used patterns for wall drawings that look similar and work to much the san1e effect: the
applied design counters the viewer's intuitive understanding of known structural forms,
thus demanding a heightened perceptual and conceptual focus on the conhguration of
the architectural setting (see pl. 243).
In the 19905 LeWitt began to favor acrylic as the primary medium for his wall drawings.
lt was the first new medium to be used consistently since he introduced lndia ink in 1981
and the first medium to alter the fundamental aesthetic course ofthe wall drawings. By
adding acrylic to his regular inventory of materials, he began working on walls in what
is technically a painting medium. Pencil, crayon, chalk, and ink-the materials used by
LeWitt for his wall drawings since 1968-are traditionally identified as drawing media."
LeWitt continues to use the term "wall drawings" for this body of work, regardless of the
medium in which the work is executed, Acrylic (and, in short order, the varnish layers
sometimes added to give the acrylic works their density and high gloss) revolutionized
both the style and technique of LeWitt`s wall drawings.
If-in purposefully somewhat anthropomorphic terms-the wall drawings evolved
from reserved and evanescent (19605) to calculated and austere (197os) to colorful and
exuberant (|980s), the works of the 1990s are audacious and unyielding. In their most
neutral incarnation-as stand-alone "paintings" presented i11, say, group exhibitions and
without any inherent relationship to their settings-the more recent wall drawings are
frankly decorative. LeWitt`s superheated 19905 palette features brilliant, intense hues; the
drawings' simple geometries in arcs, waves, and rectangles, often intersecting at unexpected
conjunctions, are composed of broad bands and sometimes include "framing" bands.
Altogether, these late 199os wall drawings are appealing, complex, and theatrical at the
same time.
The most surprising element of recent wall drawings (for example, Wall Drawing

CONSTRUCTION SIGHTS
Martin Friedman Imagine an artist first associated with the purist view of form generally known as
Minimalism-in fact, one of the progenitors of its uncomprornisingly anti-expressionist
theology-suddenly making enormous, softly contoured, brightly colored sculptures.
some planned to be thirty-six feet high and fifty feet long. Might the unimaginable be
happening: could Sol LeWitt be entering a heady romantic phase? So exotic are these
new entities, particularly in relation to his readily identifiable geometric structures, that
you might think they dropped in from outer space. In vivid contrast to his production
ofthe last four decades, these incipient artistic extraterrestrials are less about stasis than
movement. Some, in fact, seem to he in the process of inflating or deflating.
However improbable these multicolored, quasipneumatic forms might seem in the
LeWitt canon, they are by no means his illegitimate artistic progeny, They were planned
for a forested site in the New lersey Pine Barrens where, ideally, LeWitt says, there could
be as many as a dozen pieces in individual settings; and, for all their seemingly relaxed
presence, they derive from meticulously detailed schematic drawings that resemble a
surveyor’s land contour studies. Yoshitsugu Nakama, LeWitt's longtime model-maker,
has translated their paisleylike outlines to volumes in a group of hberglass maquettes.
(pls. 333-38). Even if their projected scale, rotundity, and glossy, intense color suggest
a radical break with his heretofore consistently geometric imagery, their immediate
ancestry is readily detectable. Their sinuous, if quirky, outlines were largely anticipated
in his drawings of the early 199os, especially those whose wide bands of loosely brushed
color coalesced into quasigeometric shapes, some looking like squeezed circles. Slightly
earlier sculptural antecedents are the stark-white, sharp-edged “complex forms" LeWitt
fabricated in wood and aluminum in the late r9Sos. But even more immediate precedents
are his wall drawings-actually paintings-of the past few years, those great oceans of
color whose soft organic contours subliminally allude to landscape contours, distant
horizons, even to human anatomy,
Although Sol LeWitt may have seemed to be pursuing different stylistic directions
in his structures and wall drawings, they have always been inextricably related: his work
in one medium has always affected that in the other. Even when their forms have varied
widely, they have shared imagery and concepts of generation. Now, as revealed by the
maquettes for the large constructions proposed for the Pine Barrens in response to a
possible commission (whether or not rhey are realized at full scalel» the artist is bringing
together two long~separated aspects of his work, the theoretical and the sensuous. Not
since the early 1960s, when he painted his first geometric constructions with vivid reds,
blues, and yellows, has he embraced color with such gusto. LeWitt`s arrival at his current
vocabulary of soft curves, weighty masses, and full»throttle primary and secondary colors
is the latest stop on a stylistic journey that began some forty years ago,

Though initially well within Minimalism`s gravitational field,
LeWitt increasingly felt that the constant simplification of geo
metrical form was a reductive trap; rather, he says, “I was always
thinking about simplicity, not reduction.” He began searching
for nonexpressionist means of creating form. One, he soon
found, was through the use of systems that could lead to “self
generating" forms. It was this theorizing approach that enabled
him to break loose from the rigidity that Minimalism seemed
to stand for, Such systems provided what he calls a “narrative
option," By positing an idea as a form, other shapes would follow.

the "narrative," which theoretically could go on ad infinitum, LeWitt soon began applying
this principle of elementary progressions to develop his own forms,
He became an enthusiastic proponent of Conceptual art, in which the “idea” behind a
work was considered as important as whatever abstract shape it might bring forth. From
early on, he had regarded his structures as neutral transmitters of ideas about scale and
process. They were not, at least in his terms, aesthetic objects. (That adjective applied to
his work still seems to make him shudder.) Further, he felt their materials-wood, steel,
or aluminum-and surfaces, and the resulting forms, should not be too interesting.
Nothing about them, in fact, should interfere with the viewer`s comprehension of the
finished work as anything but the totality it was meant to be.
During the tgéos, LeWitt fabricated most of his three-dimensional works himselfand,
unlike his later industrially produced ones, a decidedly handmade look prevails in these
rectangular solids and hollow squares, whose parallel sides are not always of equal length
or in precise alignment, "I was trying very hard to make them perfect,” he says, “but of
course they weren`t. l was never that good with tools." However that may be, over the
course of the i96os, an impressive array of constructions based on elementary geometric
forms began to emerge from the artist`s studio-among them three-dimensional grids,
walls, towers, and ziggurats. The basic component of each of these, their common
denominator, was the cube. From the outset, it has remained LeWitt’s essential structural
unit. Yet, for all the cube’s apparent stasis, even in those early works he was determined
to invest its static form with energy and motion, ln more ways than one he wanted to
get "out of the box."
ln the early igbos, pondering ways to animate the blocky volumes of his painted canvas
reliefs (actually three-dimensional paintings with thickly brushed red, yellow, and blue
surfaces). he began punching square and rectangular holes in some. In others he incorpo»

relief format is apparent in two works of 1964 titled Muybridge, which contain sequential

a series of such obdurately geometric shapes, some freestanding, others attached to a
wall, LeWitt, deciding that their frameworks were actually more interesting than their
surfaces, got down to basics by abandoning the sheathing altogether, The resulting open
grid now became an indispensable part of his vocabulary, Hrst as a black-painted tensile
form, soon after rendered entirely in white. Variations in proportion, configuration, and
scale began to appear, not only in wood but in white-painted metal also. An early version,
a six-foot cube called Floor Structure ot' 1966 (pl. 45), represented him that year in the
Primary Structures exhibition.
Not only did the grid become a dominant theme but, in combination with his durable
cube, it led to intriguing new compositional possibilities. One ofthese, begun in the
mid-196os, is the series in which the modular cube rises from a graphlike plane. In its
simplest version, Cube/Base, 1969 (pl. 58), the cube YSSIS on the center square ofa nine
unit grid. The cube-grid combination format achieved a kind of apogee in the Serial
Project #1 (ABCD), 1966 (pl. 61), actually four separate compositions that LeWitt combined
in a single super-composition. His obsession with systems kicks in fully here. On a gridded
plane resembling a large game board are set numerous cubes and rectangular forms that
vary in height and width, Some are solid, others are hollowed solids, still
others are schematically rendered frameworks. When grouped together, the four separate
sections that compose Serial Project #1 (ABCD) become an instant megasquare containing
thirty-six cubes, no two alike, whose materializations range from solid mass to tensile
outline. That the results may suggest a computengeneraled design for some sterile, anon
ymous metropolis doesn’t in the least trouble LeWitt, who shrugs off such architectural
analogies by dryly observing that this piece was never intended as a model for a city,
but for those who persist in seeing it as a futuristic urban complex he blithely adds,
"It’s certainly no city l`d ever live in." VVhen someone who had seen this |971 work in
an exhibition skeptically pointed out that Mies had already "done it," his response was
"Well, he was an architect, and l`m not. l’m an artist."
Ftu 2| Step Pvramtu at Zuser. ra 2650 BCE But despite his protestations that such readings of his constructions as architectural
saqqara, Eqvnt surrogates miss the point of his art, it’s hard to avoid making such comparisons. Even he
admits to architectures persistent allure. "I suppose I think about
architecture more than I do about sculpture," LeWitt says. "In fact,
I probably think of it as a form of sculpture.” The evidence for such
reflection tlickers in countless allusions to architectural forms encoded
in the work, and which are by no means limited to buildings of this
century. Throughout we detect affinities with far older forms,
however generalized these references might be, His far-ranging tastes
have long been for elemental shapes that range from Old Kingdom
Egyptian mastahas (fig. 21), Indian stupas, and the temples of Angkor
Wat, to early Romanesque churches and Brunelleschi’s great dome
for the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence. Illustrations
of these wonders and other grand primal structures are pinned to
the walls of his studio.
4 Maw mamma"
In large measure, LeWitt`s strong response to architectural form was conditioned by
his early years in New York, after moving there in 1953. By mid-decade he was employed
as a graphic artist in LM, Pei`s architectural office, and though well removed from the
drafting room, he nevertheless became interested in various systems used by architects to
organize and develop their projects. Once settled in the city and beginning to make his
own work, his interest in architecture was further stimulated by his immediate surround
ings. The geometry of the city was beginning to find an echo, however distant, in his
work~not only the contours of its trademark skyscrapers but the chunky masses and
stepped outlines of anonymous postwar period office buildings that had risen rapidly
from Manhattan`s street grids.‘
By the early 197os, LeWitt`s cube-grid structures had undergone considerable variations
in configuration and size. His white-metal cagelike constructions, .1 fusion of both elements,
had grown dramatically in size, and, increasingly, he used his unique, quasiscientific systems
to generate new combinations and variations. “With such systems," he says,"you could
create forms that you wouldn`t normally imagine." In fact, he saw these personal method
ologies as a way of"gettingp//1st the pitfalls of imagination.” Past his imagination, perhaps,
but certainly not past his intuition. Each of his logical systems was arrived at arbitrarily,
however mathematically exact the results might appear. (As to mathematics, LeWitt
pleads ignorance beyond arithmetic for daily use.) There were, however, a few general
rulesfhis own, of course. In a LeWitt “serial construction," for example, the length ofa
cube`s side might be the fundamental measurement that is subsequently repeated, halved,
or doubled to generate more shapes, But there was no LeWitt “golden mean"; rather, a
ratio was chosen simply because he happened to like it. A long-favored one, utilived in
many of his open-cube structures, is 1:8.5. The ratio represents the width of one segment
of the cube’s frame to the width of the empty volume bound by it. He has always been
curious to see just where his arbitrarily generated numerical sequences of numbers might
take him and what shapes might evolve from them. When asked if his great fascination
with such systems might, perhaps, reflect some deeper, mystical interest, such as an
obsession with the arcana of numerology, his amused response was, "No, but l've always
liked numbers." To underline the point, he then observed that he would have a birthday on
“September 9,1999, or 9-9»99. The next time that kind of thing happens will be January 1,
2011, or 1-1-it!"
Allowing his intuitively derived systems to dictate the forms of his objects, LeWitt has
become a master hypothesizer, an inventive positor of "what if" situations: how many
ways, for instance, are there to stack three cubes-one solid, another partially solid, the
third open? Fifty-six is the answer, as demonstrated in his white-painted aluminum floor
piece 56 Three-Part Variations on Three I)Uffercn1 Kinds ufC11bes, IQ67/1974 (for an earlier
version, see pl. 65). lust to make sure that he had covered all possibilities, LeWitt had his
assumptions vetted by a few mathematicians: he hadn’t missed any, And how many ways
can an incomplete open cube-that is, a cube missing one or more sides-be shown?
The answer is one hundred and twenty-two, as Incomplete Open Cul1cs,a frenetic 1974
conglomeration of angular metal spaghetti, readily reveals (pl. 68). He worked out this
consrnucrion status
astonishing arrangement of shapes by bending paper clips into various configurations,
The complete installation includes a similar number of photographs and drawings of each
unlinished cube variation. But apart from the empirical process of working out all possible
permutations lies another and deeper concern: the relationship of actual form to infinite
space. ln effect, this constellation of incomplete cubes is :t philosophical disquisition on
present reality dissolving into nothingness,
Throughout the tgttos LeWitt concentrated on richly detailed structures composed of
innumerable small open cubes. These line-scaled, virtually transparent masses took many
forms: some as elongated, towering volumes; others, as horizontal ones that lay on the
Iloor, There were walls, low pyramids, wide stairs, and tall angular spirals, Ot' two titled
Htxugmg Structure from 1989, out is an upside-down tower, a three-dimensional X-ray of
a skyscraper (tig. zz); the other is a llat rectangle with an incomplete corner, which in its
airiness, looks like a cubici7ed stalactite. A later, monumental manifestation of this open
cube theme is the sixteen-and-a-half-foot elongated ziggurat 1 3 5 7 9 11 he created in |996
tor The Nelson-Atkins Museum ot' Art tpl. 268). Despite I.eWitt`s reservations about
architectural analogies, its soaring skeletal outlines instantly suggest a 1930s Deco-style
skyscraper. While such tensile forms-essentially geometric drawings in real space#
are his most intricate variations on the cube, they are, at the same time, wondrous
disappearing acts in which white forms can dissolve nebulously into their backgrounds.
They inhabit space but are oddly recessive and, under certain light, take on an elusive
spiritual dimension,
In the late 1980s Le\‘\'itt began making tall, sharp-sided, and in some instances, aggressive
edged white polyhedrons tpls. 254-58). ‘lermed "complex forms" by the artist, many of
them evoke forms ofthe natural world-jaged mountains, icebergs, and multifaceted
crystals-while others bring to mind church spires and sailboats. Their origins, though,
were not in descriptive reality but in the schematic studies LeWitt made to determine
riq 22 so Lewin Hanging sf/ima/E asc, their eccentric, quasigeometric shapes: "I was trying to figure out how to make things
1989 Parties wwe vacate eoiiertm that I had never imagined," he says. "I had no idea what they would look like." The process
utilized yet another ol his systems: "I would rule offa grid on a sheet of paper and where
thc lines intersected, I would place a number, say. from 1 to io, to indicate the height ofa
vertical line from that point." The next step was to connect the elevated dots, which led to
these unpredictable forms. The drawings were then turned over to a carpenter, and small
scale wood models were soon succeeded by full-scale pieces in wood and aluminum.
For all the systematic order ol' their genesis, these idiosyncratic, even insurgent, shapes
were introduced into LeWitt`s theretotore carefully controlled hierarchy ot' forms. Until
he began working on the Pine Bartens structures, they were, relatively speaking, LeWitt`s
most allusive sculptures.
Even as he was developing those spectral forms, he was pioneering new variations on
his eternal cube in possibly the least likely candidate for a line-art material imaginable:
concrete block. In stark contrast to the transparent open cubes, but just as architectural,
these weighty structures were formed of layer upon layer of massive volumes. In a way,
they represented a new, obdurately anti-aesthetic stance, especially in contrast to his
»»_ nt ni amy
increasingly relined open~cube structures that encompassed more empty space than
solid form. But such polarities are not uncommon in LeWitt`s art, with its long history
of alternating between primal simplicity and rich complexity, between wall drawings and
structures. He Grst used this prosaic medium in the five-meter Cube he made for a 1986
exhibition in Basel (pl, 283), and soon employed it in other outdoor works: cubes, massive
towers, stepped pyramids, and walls. Though mainly an outdoor medium, concrete
block was the only material he used in a memorable 1995 multiroom installation in the
commodious Ace Gallery in New York (pl. 304). Dominating each of its many spaces
was a primal shape over whose gritty gray surfaces there was interplay of light (skylight)
and shadow. He had been attracted to this improbable medium, he says, "because it was
a totally ‘non-art one,` with no historical associations” and, besides, he adds, "concrete
blocks are basically the same all over the world,” easily worked with, inexpensive, available,
Furthermore, the low-tech masonry process lends itself admirably to the primal shapes
he has long favored. What better way to ensure that his ideas could be carried out with
ease, here or abroad?
Geography has never been a limiting factor, and LeWitt has worked on projects, large
and small, throughout North America, Europe, Australia, and Iapan, But though an artistic
internationalist, his visual language utilizes a relatively small vocabulary of universal
images, And while the architecture of a site might influence the connguration of a LeWitt
wall drawing or three-dimensional work, other issues, such as social or political ones,
generally do not, He characterizes himself as “a political person but not a political artist."
But a salient exception to this apparent detachment was the Memorial to the Missing lews,
a massive concrete-block structure made for the 1987 Skulptur Prnjekte in Munster exhibi
tion in Germany That contribution, initially called Black Farm, was a massive, black con
crete-block construction like an altar placed in a square, the Schloss Platz, in front of an
ornate eighteenth-century palace. "I wanted to make a piece that was completely different
from the lacy architecture behind it," he says, "so I made it in a sort of ungainly block. I
wanted it to be hard to swallow in terms of form and completely antithetical to its site.
Then I decided to make it even more antithetical by painting it black. Once that was
done, I thought, well, I’ll take another step and give it a title that will make it even more
unpalatable," Everyone quickly got the idea. The palace`s neighbor, the Westfalische
Wilhelms-Universitat, was less than eager to have LeWitt`s polarizing bleak monument,
which was soon covered with political graffiti, at its front door, and it quickly became a
cuuse célébre, engendering passionate local debate. Soon after its jackhammered removal
from the plaza at the exhibitions conclusion, it found a second German incarnation
(pl, 186), It was reconstructed in slightly larger form in front of another palace, the
Hamburg-Altona town hall in the Platz der Republik, across from a site once occupied
by a synagogue, "This was the only political art I ever made," LeWitt reflects, “and the
only thing political about it was the title, but I thought I owed it to the Germans
and the Iews-to make one comment.”
In the last few years LeWitt has even ventured into the realm of architecture per se.

seventeenth- and eighteenth-century wood buildings of Eastern European shtetls. Based
connertveot, i999 on the contours of these traditional structures, he proposed for the synagogues central
element a hlocky pyramidal form consisting of three units, one above the other, the
smallest at the top (fig. 13). Their sloping roof lines were the setbacks. By this time, the
congregation had engaged a young architect, Stephen Lloyd, with whom LeWitt began
to collaborate. Their plan incorporated LeWitt’s blocky pyramid in a new scheme that
earned enthusiastic board approval, and the building is about to be constructed (fig. 24).
Against the backdrop of such simple, architectonic forms and LeWitt’s well~known
history of open-cube and solid-cube structures, the sumptuous, color-saturated shapes
of the proposed Pine Barrens works might seem startling, Except that they echo the
shapes and colors in his latest wall drawings, just as his perspectival renditions of open
Ma t r teams"
and solid cubes afloat in the earlier wall drawings alluded to the constructions of the tinte.
He acknowledges that such symbiosis is at the heart of his work and that he moves back
and forth freely from one medium to the other because, he says, "What I don`t want is
atrophy,” And last year he made his first "exterior" wall drawings. A commission from
the owner of a Barolo winery, all four sides ofa small chapel in Alba, in ltaly’s Piedmont
region, now vibrate with his high-spectrum curvilinear wall drawings (pl. 309), Sculptural,
colorful, perched on a hill, the building with its drawings of primary and secondary colors
shows affinities with the architectural forms of the Pine Barrens structures. His imagery
whether resolutely geometric or, more recently, sensuously arcedfdraws inspiration from
the underlying structures, and calls attention to the forms it overlays.
LeWitt has a simple explanation for the emergence of color in the structures, surely
as surprising to some as his new proclivity for rounded organic shapes. "Well, why not?"
he asks, observing that different eras engender different artistic reactions. "The difference
between the sixties and now is that those years were a time of very strong ideology, politi
cally, aesthetically, and every other way. In order to break with the past and make new
things, you had to begin with some kind of ideological framework." The sixties were also
the beginning of his deep immersion in the Conceptualist ethos, and a time, he says, when
"I could never have made a colored sculpture. It was something I just couldn’t do .... But
now I say, so what? lf it seems to promise some kind of interesting result, why not do it?"
LeWitt may be mellowing a bit, perhaps loosening the Conceptualist strictures of idea'
over-object, Even he admits that his interest span in methodologies has been relatively
short, and while intrigued by systems, he has never really been in thrall to them, remaining
with onejust long enough to explore its potential before moving on to something else.
Nor has he always played strictly by his own rules. The objects that proceeded from these,
for all their premises in logic (his logic), have consistently transcended mere formula,
thanks to his subtle interventions and manipulations of the rules, While such rules may
have been helpful in the short run, they were never a substitute for his purely intuitive
decisions about form. As such, his structures are ultimately as much about enduring
formalist verities such as line and mass, volume and void, as about some motivating
idea. Over the course of his entire career, he has made objects that have a life of their
own, well beyond embodying whatever invented systems may have led to their making.
The overwhelming evidence is that, intentionally or not, his elegantly reasoned sculptural
forms, like his compelling wall drawings, more than meet aesthetic criteria as well, and,
in fact, vastly expand our sense of what those criteria can be.

APPROACHES T0 SERIALITVI SOL LEWITT AND HIS CONTEMFDRARIES
Anne Rorimer
By the late 1960s, Sol LeWitt was personally connected with the majority of interiiational
figures whose work has come to be associated with Conceptual art. Living in New York
City, where his Hester Street loft became a social nexus, and traveling frequently to
Europe, LeWitt crossed paths with numerous t1rtists,writcrs,and musicians. A glance at
the long list of artists represented in the LeWitt Collection, which comprises works he
has purchased or traded for over the years, attests to the far-reaching nature of his orhit.’
LeWitt`s work is central to the period of ferment marked by the shift from the ideas
of Minimalism to those of Conceptualismf ln two major areas of innovation in the
19603 LeWitt was at the forefront of developing principles and methodologies that have
proved to be of utmost significance, For one, LeWitt’s formulation ofa serial approach
led him to the production of works in which visual complexity is derived from rational
simplicity. As a progenitor of what is now termed “installation art," LeWitt furthermore
played a pivotal role in the radical move from canvas support to spatial environment
that occurred in the later 19605,
A key passage from his seminal "Paragraphs on Conceptual Art" explicates the proce
dural method that has served LeWitt in his practice as it has many of his contemporaries,
each to his or her own ends:
To work with a plan that is preset is one way ofat/aiding subjectivity It also olrviatus
the necessityfor designing each work in turn. The plan would rlosign the work. Some
plans would require millions ofvariatinns, and some a limited rtumben but both are
finite, Otherplans imply infinity In each case, howeven the artist would select the
basic form and rules that would govern the solution ofthe problem. After that the
fewer decisions made in the course 0/'completing the work, the lretren This eliminates
the arbitrary the capricious, and the subjective as much as possible. That is the reason
for using this method. 5
Wall Structure, 1963 (pl. 37), was LeWitt`s “first serial attempt." * Rectangular volumes,
enclosed one within another, progressively widen and shorten from the work`s center to
its rim,jutting out from a flat plane into the viewers space. ln the following year, with
the realization of Mu;/bridge I (pls. 43-44), LeWitt furthered his investigation ot' pictorial
planarity and spatial reality with relation to duration. Familiarity with the studies of the
nineteenth-century Anglo-American photographer Eadweard Muybridge, who is known
for hundreds of photographs of animal and human locomotion, aided him in a concerted
search for ways to counteract the static nature of singular objects (fig. 3).
Muj/bridge I is built upon the eponymous photographers procedure for presenting
the subject in motion as a series of individually recorded moments to be read from left to
right. As opposed to Wall Structure. this work, also to be read left to right, is experienced
No one other than a mathematician is going to know what that series really is.

demarcated sections, On 9 Iune 1967 she wrote, "everything is based on: Numbers, the
small multiplication table, Numbers in permutations, in progressive, symmetrical, and
mathematical sequences; shifted angles, numbers, and multiplications of numbers and
angles, all in mathematical permutations. I find this fascinating, being pretty ignorant
of mathematics,” That same year she met LeWitt and others of his close-knit circle.
In 1968 Darboven replaced the spatial mesh of the grid with an invisible supporting
scaffold of numerical formulations associated with the calendar (Fig, 26). The artist was
able, therefore, to directly construct works that, anchored within the flow of time, escape
the grid`s fixed nature. ‘A system became necessary," she has maintained, for "how else
could l in a concentrated way find something of interest which lends itself to continua
lion?"° Darboven’s investigation of the myriad permutations provided by the four to six
digits needed to record the day, month, and year ofa calendar date (excluding the first
two ofa year`s four digits) has provided her with a guiding structure on the one hand
and an open-ended, uncontined freedom to act on the other, just as it has LeWitt, Using
numbers and generic handwriting, Darboven achieves a tangible transcription of spatial
and temporal relations that testify to the physical and mental commitment underlying
the production of art. The controlled system advocated by LeWitt lends credibility to

Piper took photographs, some randomly and others at predetermined times, that are
"symbolic representations of the contents of my consciousness at a particular space-time
location and monient" “ and related to the space-time coordinates she plotted on the
graph paper, In its studied serial1ty,I’iper’s work pertains to the fact that orientation in
the world 1s necessarily at tconlsequence ofdiflerent spatiotemporal situations in relation
to consciousness ofthe self. Although her ensuing work, with its political content and
use of photography and video, has followed a different course, the artist acknowledges
her indebtedness to LeWitt’s ohiective investigative strategy. "Sol`s sensibility in general
has influenced me enormously," she has written, adding that her “earliest conceptual
work succeeded insofar as it illuminated the contrast between abstract atemporality and
the indexical, self-referential present.""‘
On Kawara is also concerned with consciousness and his place in the world. For him,
however, seriality 1s usually a function ofthe segment of time defined by the twenty-four
hour dav. The 'li11l11yser1es,hegun in January 1966, now consists of many hundreds of

LeWitt began to apply preset “narrations" to drawing shortly after adopting them for
the realization of three-dimensional structures. Simple visual points of departure that
adhere to a set permutational sequence have yielded the same fusion of clarity and
complexity in two dimensions that characterize the many cubical works made since his
first serial piece. ln drawing, his serial method led LeWitt to the broad scope of visual
ideas and effects manifest in his books, prints, and wall drawings, A systematic approach
to the creation of his early wall drawings enabled him to free line from subordination
to representational cross-hatching or contour.
In LeWitt`s drawings, line-including straight or not-straight lines, broken lines,
short lines, touching or not~touching lines, etc.»is employed without descriptive intent
for a wide range of visual purposes. Environmental wall drawings, in which preplanned
permutational systems play themselves out with immediate reference to their physical
location, are governed by language that details the plan in an instructional manner.
LeWitt made his first drawing directly on the wall in the latter part of 1968, and by 1969
he had arrived at the idea of using the totality of an enclosed space as a site for drawing.
A pen-and-ink drawing of 1973, for example, sets forth a plan that has been used for
numerous wall drawing installations: All Combinations of/tres from Corners and Sides;
Straight Lines, Not-Straight Lines, and Broken Lines. No longer serving simply as a neutral
background support, tl-ie wall, rather than a sheet of paper, becomes an integral part of
the drawing. Redefining earlier approaches to the creation of interior environments,
LeWitt’s wall drawings “draw” the supporting mural surt'ace(s) into the content of the
work. Significantly; "no matter how many times the piece is done it is always different
visually if done on walls of differing sizesf’ l’ or of differing shapes, according to the artist.
LeWirt was one of the first to define the surrounding reality of a given architectural
enclosure as an integral part of the work. Some months after LeWitt, although indepen
dently from him, the German artist Blinky Palermo likewise initiated a series of wall
drawings and paintings in which the surrounding architectural context is inextricable
form the work`s totality, Whereas LeWitt's works involve the fusion of verbally designated
linear systems with their appointed spatial environment, Palermo`s, somewhat differently,
meld their background support with forms obtained from architectural reality. For a
1970 exhibition at the Konrad Fischer Gallery in Dusseldorf to cite one example, Palermo
painted to scale the projection of an actual staircase profile onto one of the gal|ery`s walls
in a suitably proportioned, relatively narrow space (fig. 32). Affording an undulating
shape, the staircase prohle correlated with the observable reality of the exhibition space.
Not unlike LeWitt’s linear systems in its function, if not in its form, Palermo`s staircase
profile-extracted from material reality to serve as a found rather than an invented
shapefmerges with its background support. Suppressing authorial signs of arbitrary
decision-making and dispensing with the conventional canvas support, both LeWitt
and Palermo, using different means, established an interdependent relationship between
exhibition space and exhibited work of art.
Sol LeWitt is a centripetal figure whose career, crossing the historical threshold from
Minimalism to Conceptualism in the latter half of the 19605, ushered in a new era ot'

vAR|EY|Es or INFLUENCE! SOL LEWITT AND THE ARTS COMMUNITY
Andrea Miller-Keller
With all the recognition that he has received, people still don’1 get how important he ts.
Solis to art what Bach was to music. - Adrian Piper, 1999'
Sol has been the greatest example ofan artist able tu keep moving while staying one
hundred percent true tu l1in1seM - Chuck Close, 1999*
Sol LeWitt's influence in the world of contemporary art during the past three decades has
been broad and deep. Many artists have drawn inspiration from his ideas about making
art, the aesthetics ofhis strategies, and his inclination to engage the architecture ofa site.
His early statements on Conceptual art have become classics in the literature of twentieth
century art history. lt is a compliment to LeWitt that, although minor copyists dot the
landscape, the several generations of artists who most readily acknowledge his influence
make works of art that pay little or no visual homage to LeWitt's art. While his own work
has remained almost exclusively abstract,” the artists LeWitt has influenced are remarkably
diverse and include many whose works are representational.
LeWitt’s greatest impact on younger artists has come from the extraordinary ways in
which he has managed to merge those two traditionally dichotomous titans, form and
content. Most influential in this regard has been LeWitt’s focus on the abstract art object
as a carrier of ideas rather than as a formal, seltireferential entity.‘ His bold wall drawings
and extensive sculptural permutations that self-confidently take command of entire
spaces have encouraged other artists to think more expansively (see pl. 118). As important
to many artists has been his richly generative, almost narrative, deployment of individual
units in a way that abandoned traditional compositional hierarchies, More subtle and less
fully documented are the myriad ways in which LeWitt’s regard for other artists (young
and old, successful and unrecognized), his collecting practices, and his professional
methodologies have influenced not only artists but also curators, art historians, dealers,
and collectors.

Adrian Piper considers LeWitt the individual most responsible for restoring content
to art through his insistence on privileging ideas. "Sol is the person who decisively broke
through the knee-jerk, cartoon-Kantian critical response: `l'm a sensitive arty person.
I just feel things' Sol restored the value and the utility ofthe intellect to the visual arts
better and more emphatically than did Duchamp by making a system central to the con
ception ofa work and the procedure hy which it is realized." For Piper, LeWitt introduced
a whole new sensibility and reunited the experience of intellectual complexity with that
of strong visual nrtentatrnitf
I.cW1tt`s use of modular units and serial systems along with the expanding scale of
his wall drawings helped to inspire lennifer Bartlett`s epic Rllapsvdy,1975-76 (fig 34).
However, Bartlett takes the lessons learned from LeWitt on a very wild ride. Rhapsody,
more than iso feet long and constructed of 988 individual one»foot-square units, is an
exuberant and unruly exposition on the basic elements of painting and the nature of
originality. She explores aspects of line, shape, scale, color, and four basic figurative
images (mountain, house, tree, and ocean). Despite Bartlett`s decidedly non-hierarchical
lorward march, numerous passages evoke (in part, by chance) familiar art historical styles
from Seurat to Twonthly, and, ofcourse, LeWitt, W`hat initially purports to be methodical
and classical evolves into an idiosyncratic, bombastic triumph uf intellect and humor.

humanness ofhis work. It was not as cool and analytical as l had previously thought."

that "what the work ol .tri looks like isn`t too nnport.n1\" and that "Conceptual art is
made to engage the mind ol' the viewer rather than his eve or emotions." "' However,

As influential as LeWitt`s work, ideas, and quiet generosity have been for several generations
of practitioners, it may be that his methodology as an artist has had an equal impact.
Byron Kim, more than thirty years I,eWitt's junior, suggests, "I think that a lot of artists
unknowingly owe Sol a lot, The reason we are unknuwing, I think, is that he has influenced
our modus operandi more than the actual things we make." '” Chuck Close aptly says.
"Sol really knows how to be an artist. He wears being an artist like a fine suit of clothes.""
LeWitt has taken an active role in introducing dealers to the work of other artists,
something both frequently remember with gratitude. A number of now-prominent

Epilogue
Mitchell Algus, an art dealer and science teacher, encapsulates LeWitt`s far-reaching
impact on the art and the art world of our time saying: "Sol is the contrarian paradigm
of the successful artist. Alert, yet retiring. Responsive to other artists, yet utterly focused
within his own work. This engagement is manifest in the selflessness of his worl<`s
execution. He is a mysteriously benign presence, odd for an artist who is so rigorous
in his work. This magnanimity gives his art a moral presence, one which is deeply
humanitarian." 5° As a pioneer and inventor, Sol LeWitt`s redetinitions ofthe practice
of art have contributed to many ofthe major changes that characterize the landscape
of art history at the beginning of the twenty-first century

SOL LEWITTI THE IDEA, THE WALL DRAWING, AND PUBLIC SPACE
John S. Weber The decisive contribution of Sol l.eWitt’s work to the emergence of Conceptual art is
now self-evident and widely documented. During the igoos and early 1970s, LeWitt`s wall
drawings joined practices such as Happenings, earthworks, installation art, performance,
and the creation of artist-run spaces in dramatically challenging traditional thinking
about the art object and its place in the world. These radical developments were the work
of two generations of artists who sought to redetine the structures of art and rethink
how it could be made, shown, and supported. During the same period, the widespread
founding of civic public art programs devoted specifically to contemporary art testify
to a parallel and related dynamic: the attempt to make art available to a broader public
while supporting the creation of significant works of art by living artists. The relevance
of LeWitt’s wall drawings to that history has remained largely unexamined, but they
derive from the same era and a common set of concerns. lt is time now to consider the
relationship between LeWitt's work and inherited notions ofpublic art, for, in fact,
the two histories have a great deal to say to each other.
Over the past thirty years, government programs of "public art” and “art in public
places" have evolved into a sideshow for downtown real estate development and mass
transit projects, just as direct public support for artists themselves has eroded. Public art
has been defined in most cases simply as the siting of art in a publicly visible location,
regardless of the nature or content of the work itself. Civic, federal, and leveraged corporate
funds used for “percent for art” programs have focused primarily if not exclusively on
commissioning site-specific works or simply buying existing art objects and placing them
somewhere nominally “public.” In some instances, artists have been commissioned to
work on design teams, as in the creation of mass transit facilities, government buildings,
and even police stations. In all cases, the tendency to originate work of a highly permanent
nature has been a potential problem and real stumbling block for a society with little
social consensus concerning what art is, what it is for, who should pay for it, and where
it belongs in public life, The fate of Richard Serra`s Tilted Arc in New York City is but one
example of how this situation can go drastically awry when public art programs try to
commission ambitious works. And when they don`t, even arguably successful public art
programs foster legions of forgettable plop sculptures in urban pedestrian zones and
decoratively abstract paintings that languish in courtroom hallways.
A central problem has been the practical irrevocability of most decisions concerning
the commission and siting of large-scale, site-specific public works, a condition rooted in

Yet it is this assumption that dominates public art programs and the artists working with
“till
|DIAGRAM them.’ This leads to a situation of timidity and risk avoidance in the Curation and jurying
of public art, and for good, if lamentable reasons: public art commissioners and juries
}f;i`
have to live with their decisions forever, and they never get to have a new or better idea
about howto use a given site,
The wall drawings of Sol LeWitt offer a strikingly different model of an art structured
,t l .|
to move fluidly from private to public spaces, and to inhabit something we might think
of as zt public domain. Indeed, when LeWitt first began to make wall drawings they were
not intended to be "public art" as the term is described above. Despite this, they constitute

since the emergence ofthe patronage system of the modern era in the latter halt' of the
nineteenth century.
A brief review of the particular conditions of LeWitt’s wall drawings is a useful starting

point. Each wall drawing exists first of all as an idea, embodied by set of instructions
written by l.eWitt. See, for example, the instructions for Wall Dmwir1g#366 from 1982:

instructions might be followed (figs. 45-48).
The actual on-site execution of I.eWitt`s wall drawings can be done by LeWitt himself
(although this is now rarely the case). by a team of his trained assistants who travel
around the world on commission, or by teams of artists or others hired locally or recruited
as volunteers to execute drawings for a particular exhibition. LeWitt has conceived several
series of wall drawings specifically to be drawn by nonartists, and has been known to
encourage owners to execute the simpler ones themselves.

in a variety of sites using readily available materials. According to LeWitt, he wanted "the

in which "placement wouldn't compromise the meaning."" The result was a model of art
production and distribution which remains largely unprecedented in Western art.

LeWitt°s wall drawings are ideas made manifest in a form that is material and visible
in any given execution, yet potentially ephemeral, able to be redone somewhere else.
To be sure, LeWitt has also made permanent wall drawings on commission a11d has in
fact always been interested in the creation of permanent wall drawing installations. In
recent years, his work has evolved explicitly in this direction (pl. 312). But over the past
three decades, the most radical and characteristic aspect of his work has been the practical
elasticity and conceptual portability ofthe wall drawings: their capacity to appear in
different sites and scales, then disappear until the next incarnation (see, for example, pls.
214 and 217). Based on the set of instructions conceived bythe artist, each drawing is.

LEW|TT'S AUTOEIOGRAPHYI INVENTORY OF THE PRESENT
Adam D. Weinberg How do we know who we are? Are we defined by where we were born? The friends we
chose? The career we pursue? How does one write the story of one’s life? Does one
begin with family history? From the first memory? Is there any point to searching for
one’s origins? Or, is the point of origin the present? ln effect, is who one is, what one has
become? If we dispassionately scrutinize the facts of our present, are we likely to know
as much about ourselves as we would if we studied our past? Such philosophical questions
seem grandiose and solipsistic in regard to Sol LeWitt`s Autobiography. However, issues
of personal identity naturally arise when faced with an autobiography, and LeWitt
questions the very definition of autobiography itself
LeWitt has said that he considered calling Aurubiogruphy "Self-Portrait." However, the
idea ofa self-portrait seemed too narcissistic, too definitive, and too direct for LeWitt.
A self-portrait, even one made up of hundreds of images, suggests a monolithic, singular
quality that is uncharacteristic of LeWitt’s work. The viewer ofa typical self-portrait,
confronted by the image ofthe artist, is challenged to examine every detail of a picture in
the hopes of apprehending the very "soul of the artist." We ask ourselves, how does the
artist present himself? Wl1at is his pose? How does he regard himself? How do we regard
him? A self-portrait is theatrical, staged.
Typically, one thinks of an autobiography as providing a privileged view ofa life.
Often told toward the end ofa person’s life and career, an autobiography is a confessional
account, "the inside story," offering a chronicle, gloriiication, or apologia of one’s experi
ences and endeavors. For LeWitt, however, his Autobiography is part and parcel of his
rruvre, even as it reveals parcels of his own life. For the artist, despite the title, this book
is just another work, no more and no less important than any other.
In Autobiography, LeWitt presents more than a thousand black-and-white images
in grids, generally nine to a page (pls. 349-52; figs. 57 and 59-61). The artist catalogues
virtually every corner, crevice, and item in his loft. We see an aggregate of unposed
images-the bare facts of his everyday existence, The emphasis is on the stage that is
the artist’s home and studio, There is only one out~of-focus image ofthe artist himself.
And, as if to defy identification, LeWitt’s face is hidden-we merely see the top of his
bald head. We investigate each image, but the significance of this autobiography derives
from the connection between images on a page, on a spread, and from page to page, as
much as from any individual picture, The book as a whole is replete with information
about the artist`s life, but purposely lacks the fanfare one expects from a self-portrait.
To the extent that Autobiography is a self-portrait. it is an image of multiplicity in
which the artist is hidden by, and revealed through, the abundance of things that

something about the man, In Autobiography there is a democracy of images; in their
presentation, no image is more important than any other.
LeWitt`s Autobiography was published at mid-career, in 1980, when the artist was fifty
two years old, The images, produced over several days during the previous year, were created
in his loft at 117 Hester Street in New York City, where he had lived and worked since 1960
and where he would remain until the mid-1980s. Autobiography was not produced as the
culmination of an event or at a turning point in his career’ Instead, when published, it
was one of I/eWitt’s eighteen "artist books" and one of six photography books: Stone Walls
(1975, pl. 340f43), PhutaGrids (1977, pls. 345-48), Brick Wall (1977; pl. 344), Cock Fight
Dance (1980), Sunrise and Sunset at Praianv (198o; pl. 355-58), From Monteluca to Spoleto,
December 1976 (\984),L The organizational structure of these books is relatively simple
and straightforward, the personal references are few, and each is of a fairly modest length,
These books are no less profound than Autobiography, but Autobiography is a more
complex, ambitious, and in some respects, intimate project.
LeWitt’s artist books situate themselves among dozens upon dozens of the artist’s
structures, wall drawings, drawings, and prints, For LeWitt, none of these works nor
media occupies a privileged position, Each work is part of a chain of artistic production.
The significance of each ultimately must be understood in relation to all the work that
has preceded it and will succeed it. Every work is part of a nonhierarchical whole. Thus,
contradictorily, LeWitt’s Autobiography purports to be just another work, yet its special
significance is undeniable.
An autobiography, literally the writing on one`s life, is a more appropriate form to
LeWitt than a self-portrait. Autobiography is discursive rather than iconic. The images
are modest both in terms of how they are made and how they are presented. Each two
and five-eighths inch-square image seems to have been casually taken. They appear to be
humble snapshots. Many are out of focus, off kilter, over- or under-exposed, or loosely
framed in the camera. They seem to be uninflected by the “personality” of the artist.
Produced at a time when fine art photography was in the ascendancy, they counter
fetishistic notions of formal invention and print quality, and instead assert the workaday
qualities of a medium used to record factual information for its own sake. The square
format-of the individual images and the pages of gridded imagesfis the two-dimen
sional version of LeWitt’s structure of choice, the cube, which he calls the "least emotive"
of any three-dimensional form and “the best form to use as a basic unit for any more
elaborate function, the grammatical device from which the work may proceed." Like
words or phrases that derive their significance once they are linked in the reader`s mind,
the images in Autobiography are made to be “read.” Yet, unlike the elements of written
language, which is linear, the meaning of the images is variable, for the square grids can
be "read" horizontally, vertically, diagonally, or experienced as a single visual whole.
Although the images are presented in a nonhierarchical, seemingly neutral manner~
manifested by the repetitions of the grid structure, the typological organization of the
content, the unnumbered pages, and the unpretentiousness of the pictures themselves
they are not completely devoid of emotion. The rawness of the images works to under

concludes with a thorough inventor app
thetances,
kitch - l'pots and pans, utensils
lots of containers, and foodstuffs.
The second chapter consists of four spreads offering a foray into the "more intimate"
realm of the arttst's wardrobe and details of fabrics that presumably are in his sleeping
Lone. ln this section, as in preceding and succeeding ones, we are made aware of how
things are ordered and of the processes that led to their disposition. Thus, clothing is
hung, folded, stacked, and crumpled-a reminder that, as l_eWitt wrote,"The concept
ot' a work may involve the matter ofthe piece or the process in which it is made.” Here
also the artist calls our attention to the patterns, materials, and construction uf fabrics,
with .r particular emphasis on geometric patterns.
The third chapter provides a short interlude. It consists ofa single spread of eighteen
plant details tollowed hy six images of plants, peacock leathers, and assorted keepsakes
arranged on shelves (fig. 59). This section, in effect, clears our visual palette, shifting our
attention ever so hrretlv from tlte manmade to the natural. lt serves to distance the viewer
lretore delving into the heart (and mind) of the hook, two extensive chapters-the first,
twenty-tour pages long, the other forty-seven pages-that encompass such materials as
Le\\.'itt`slil1 t l I " ’ ' i ` `
rtry, ns ntustc collection, his exhaustive assemblage of ephemera, tchotchkes,
and his own drawings, notes, and structures.
sam n wwuefq
The overall progression of the images suggests several narrative structures, First,
though it is risky to attach a distinct narrative to Autalriagmphy, the book, while at times
digressive, intimates a diurnal rhythm, This is particularly evident at the opening and the
ending, On the second spread of the hook, all the images ofwindows, with one exception,
were taken in daylight, while among the final spreads, LeWitt includes three pages oflight
Fixtures, most switched on, immediately followed by a spread largely devoted to clocks,
further suggesting the passage of time. There are other sections, such as the kitchen
sequence, into which one can read this rhythm as well. It is a mark ofthe ar\ist`s ingenious
ness that the book is delightfully ambiguous, hovering between a deterministic and a
totally open-ended reading. Another narrative involves a movement from the outer to
the inner and from the less personal to the more personal. While the first two chapters
tend to refer to the physical space and such bodily activities as cooking, bathing, and
dressing, and the third chapter serves as an intermezzo, the fourth and fifth chapters,
or roughly the last two thirds of Aurobiagmphy, are largely devoted to the life of the
mind, the core of LeWitt`s endeavor: what he reads, listens to, sees, and thinks about.
The images build in intensity, creating a crescendo.
On the opening page of chapter four, LeWitt signals that we are entering another
phase ofAurobiography. For the first time we see his work itself-a LeWitt»constructed
table on which rests a maquette of an incomplete open cube. We also get a preview of
his library and recording collection, and, as if to indicate that the making of the works
is inseparable from the ideas that spawn them, two overall views-one of a workbench
and the other ofa flat Hle, (Both subjects were examined previously in close-up, but
were not seen from a distance.) This page of images serves as an overture to the section.
In the next spread, devoted to a compendium of seating-chairs, stools, couches-the
artist seems, tongue in cheek, to be offering us a seat from which to examine his library,
On turning the page from the chairs to the books, we might initially be struck by the
physical presence and arrangement of the volumes themselves, only to be quickly seduced
into reading the titles and authors (pl. 351). For the Hrst time words take over as carriers
of meaning equal to the images. This section is one ofthe most fascinating and perhaps
informative about LeWitt`s interests and work. In examining the books, which are system
atically organized by topic, we see volumes devoted to film, architecture, history, drama,
sports, literature, mysteries, cooking, sociology, and others-all subjects of interest to
LeWitl. And everything that is of interest to the artist potentially has a bearing on his
work. Every depicted volume is treated with equanimity. Although one can single out
almost any book and offer an exegesis on its relationship to LeWitt, from volumes on
Piet Mondrian and lean-Luc Godard to a book on the history of his native Hartford,
Connecticut, the totality of these volumes is as important as any individual book-a
point made apparent by the last page of the three spreads devoted to his library, in which
he includes five long views ofthe bookcase and two out-of-focus images emphasizing
the building-block forms of the books. Even in the next spread, consisting of images
of LeWitt’s notebooks and catalogues of his own work, we get the message that his work
is entirely ofa piece, We might imagine that even Autobiography, which seems to bring
so much of his life and work together, would be just another book on the sheltf
