artist/ Sol LeWitt

États-Unis

Sol LeWitt was a pioneer of Conceptual and Minimal Art. He is best known for his wall drawings and modular structures, which he conceived as systems governed by written instructions. For LeWitt, the idea or concept was the primary artwork, while execution could be delegated to others. His serial forms and geometric progressions emphasized rational structure and procedural logic. Through repetition and variation, he explored infinite permutations within simple frameworks. LeWitt’s practice redefined authorship and challenged traditional notions of artistic originality. His wall drawings, installed worldwide, remain among the most influential works of conceptual art, foregrounding intellectual rigor and systematic creativity.
