Sol Lewitt : structures, 1965-2006

"Sol LeWitt (1928{u2013}2007), renowned for his role in establishing Conceptualism and Minimalism as dominant art movements in the postwar era, is perhaps best known for his masterful and brilliantly colored wall drawings. Throughout his career, however, LeWitt also created many remarkable three-dimensional works suitable for display in outdoor settings. In this handsome publication, which accompanies the first major career survey of LeWitt's "structures," the artist's modular works are traced from their simplest manifestation in a single large-scale cube through multiple variations, with examples from the 1960s through the 1990s. Works from the 1980s onward explore the three-dimensional possibilities of diverse geometric forms, such as stars, and the introduction of new materials, including concrete block and fiberglass, stimulating experimentation with non-geometric, irregular forms on an increasing scale. The book includes essays by Nicholas Baume and Joe Madura that provide curatorial and critical context for the structures. Additional essays by Rachel Haidu, Anna Lovatt, and Kirsten Swenson offer fresh art-historical commentary, ranging from the problematic of site for LeWitt's initial structures to the relationship between abstract conceptual systems, architecture, and urban space. Also included is a never before published conversation among the artist, Baume, and Jonathan Flatley. Stunning color plates record the works on display in Lower Manhattan's City Hall Park, supplemented by archival and historical documentation"--From the publisher.

  • "El artista, más conocido por su aportación al conceptualismo y el minimalismo como movimientos dominantes en la posguerra, creó a lo largo de su carrera también obras tridimensionales para la exposición en exteriores. En esta publicación, contemplando el contexto histórico en el que se desarrollaron, se analizan sus "estructuras", obras modulares en su manifestación más simple en un solo cubo a gran escala, y sus múltiples variaciones, de las que se ocupó entre 1960 y 1990. A partir de la década de 1980 el artista explora las posibilidades tridimensionales de diversas formas geométricas, como las estrellas, y trabaja con nuevos materiales, como bloques de hormigón y fibra de vidrio, y experimenta con formas no geométricas, formas irregulares, en una escala cada vez mayor."
