Sol LeWitt

Sol LeWitt (September 9, 1928 - April 8, 2007) was an American artist linked to various movements, including conceptual art and minimalism. His media were predominantly painting, drawing, and "structures" (a term he preferred, in opposition to sculpture). He has been the subject of hundreds of solo exhibitions in museums and galleries around the world since 1965.

These works range in size from maquette to monument outdoor pieces.
