Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A revelatory consideration of the wide-ranging practice of one of the most influential American artists of the 20th century A pioneer of minimalism and conceptual art, Sol LeWitt (1928–2007) is best known for his monumental wall drawings. LeWitt’s broad artistic practice, however, also included sculpture, printmaking, photography, artist’s books, drawings, gouaches, and folded and ripped paper works. From the familiar to the underappreciated aspects of LeWitt’s oeuvre, this book examines the ways that his art was multidisciplinary, humorous, philosophical, and even religious. Locating Sol LeWitt contains nine new essays that explore the artist’s work across media and address topics such as LeWitt’s formative friendships with colleagues at the Museum of Modern Art in the early 1960s; his photographs of Manhattan’s Lower East Side; his 1979 collaboration with Lucinda Childs and Philip Glass and its impact on his printmaking; and his commissions linked to Jewish history and the Holocaust. The essays offer insights into the role of parody, experimentation, and uncertainty in the artist’s practice, and investigate issues of site, space, and movement. Together, these studies reveal the full scope of LeWitt’s creativity and offer a multifaceted reassessment of this singular and influential artist.

Book excerpt: Tiré du site Artgallery : "The "Incomplete open cubes" are a sequence of open-sided cube structures, each missing between one and nine of their sides. At once repetitive and varied, this series lays out 122 possible variations on the concept. The 'Incomplete open cubes' exemplify LeWitt's conceptual practice and have been widely interpreted as embodying systematic rationality; they are based on an arithmetic concept which they then take to its logical extreme. While they are internally consistent, they also manifest an irrational, obsessive quality reflected in LeWitt's own comment that "irrational thoughts should be followed absolutely and logically". Here he presents a binary between the rational and the irrational."

Download or read book Sol Lewitt written by Francesco Stocchi and published by Koenig Books. This book was released on 2018-05 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This catalogue gathers images of the works installed at the Foundation Carriero (Milan) and a previously unpublished biography on LeWitt, illustrated with personal and archive images, many of which have never been seen before and compiled for the publication by Sofia LeWitt, the artist's daughter.One decade after the death of Sol LeWitt the exhibition, Between the Lines aims to offer a new perspective on the American artist's practice, exploring its confines -- though always adhering to the underlying norms and principles of his ideas -- and singling-out the most interesting moments of the method of investigation and the processes that may arise.Curated by Francesco Stocchi and renowned architect Rem Koolhaas (his first time as curator) in close partnership with the Estate of Sol LeWitt, the exhibition is based on a powerful and innovative key to interpretation, aimed above all at reformulating the idea that a work must adapt to the architecture, thereby challenging the very notion of site-specificity.Between the Lines aims to move beyond the division that traditionally separates architecture and art history and which characterizes the artist's entire body of work, aimed more at the process than at the final result, free from any aesthetic or idealist opinion.Published on the occasion of the exhibition, Sol LeWitt: Between the lines at Fondazione Carriero, Milan (17 November 2017 - 24 June 2018).English and Italian text.

Download or read book Sol LeWitt written by Lary Bloom and published by Wesleyan University Press. This book was released on 2019-04-02 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An intimate portrait of a renowned conceptual artist Sol LeWitt (1928-2007), one of the most influential artists of the twentieth century, upended traditional practices of how art is made and marketed. A key figure in minimalism and conceptualism, he proclaimed that the work of the mind is much more important than that of the hand. For his site-specific work—wall drawings and sculpture in dozens of countries—he created the idea and basic plan and then hired young artists to install the pieces. Though typically enormous and intricate, the physical works held no value. The worth was in the pieces of paper that certified and described them. LeWitt championed and financially supported colleagues, including women artists brushed aside by the bullies of a male-dominated profession. Yet the man himself has remained an enigma, as he refused to participate in the culture of celebrity. Lary Bloom's book draws on personal recollections of LeWitt, whom he knew in the last years of the artist's life, as well as LeWitt's letters and papers and over one hundred original interviews with his friends and colleagues, including Chuck Close, Ingrid Sischy, Philip Glass, Adrian Piper, Jan Dibbets, and Carl Andre. This absorbing chronicle brings new information to our understanding of this important artist, linking the extraordinary arc of his life to his iconic work. Includes 28 illustrations.
