LeWitt's work has been exhibited extensively across the world in places including Australia, Austria, Belgium, England, France, Germany, Holland, Italy, Japan, Spain, Switzerland and The Netherlands, in addition to numerous exhibitions in the United States, including a solo exhibition at Laumeier in 2004. He was known for his sculptures, or what he called “structures,” which implied a connection with architecture. LeWitt is considered a founder of both the Minimalist and the Conceptual art movements. He earned his B.F.A. from Syracuse University in 1949. Sol LeWitt was born in 1928 in Hartford, Connecticut. Sculpture Interaction Guideline: Look, But Do Not Touch In that sense, Intricate Wall, completed in 2004, is one of the latest examples of these works. Sol was a man, beyond his artistic renown, who gave, thought, read, shared and.
For those of us close to Sol LeWitt, Apseemed like perhaps the last day with a dawn. Through the 1980’s and 90’s, LeWitt used concrete and cinder blocks to present his system of organization, but he slowly moved away from the cold rigidity of concrete into creating works made of colorful organic forms. Organized by Barbara Krakow Gallery (now Krakow Witkin Gallery) A new dawn comes every day. These ambiguous resemblances are exploited by LeWitt to suggest that sculpture is literal as well as optical. Here, cinder blocks, stacked and mortared in a precise repetitive modular pattern within an assigned cubic grid, look like prison walls, crash barriers and a maze. Redefining what constituted a work of art and its genesis, LeWitt explored these ideas through wall drawings, paintings, sculptures, works on paper and prints. During his artistic career, LeWitt’s work investigated the many ways in which shapes can be organized within a set of self-imposed restrictions. Microsoft & The Sol LeWitt Estate would like to thank the following institutions for their support with promotional content: MASS MoCA, The Met, Christie’s, Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, Paula Cooper Gallery, Artifex, Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, Bonnefanten Museum, Architekturzentrum Wien, Le Case d’Arte, ARTASLINK, Yale University Art Gallery, Kunsthalle Bern, SFMOMA, Guggenheim, MOMA, and the Morgan Library.Sol LeWitt’s Intricate Wall, 2001–04, confronts and confounds viewers, highlighting the similarities and differences that exist between sculpture and architecture. It’s almost as though LeWitt could sense his future legacy before his passing in 2007, when he said: “If anyone asks, tell them my best work is yet to come.” The more you dive into LeWitt’s art, the more it seems timeless-like his ideas and influence are all around us, living on and evolving in the hands of new artists and designers today.
To have so much unique documentation of Sol’s own voice, to have video, and a studio tour-it’s super in-depth and personal.” “And the studio tour is really special,” she adds, “I haven’t seen anything quite like it. “We’re able to use technology to explain how and why he created a work, which is really cool,” says Aveilhé. It explains some of the more complex concepts he explored, like seriality or geometric and isometric shapes, while offering a sense of personal connection and understanding. It’s fitting, then, that the app gives anyone-whether at home, at school, or at a museum-the ability to dive deep into LeWitt’s art on a large scale.
