Sol LeWitt (1928-2007), 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. Distributed for the Public Art Fund, New York City
Exhibition Schedule: City Hall Park, New York (05/24/11-12/02/11)
