  • A pioneer of minimalism and conceptual art, Sol LeWitt (1928-2007) is best known for his monumental wall drawings. However, LeWitt's vast artistic practice also included photography, artist's books, sculpture and printmaking. From the best-known to the least-known aspects of the artist's work, this book examines how LeWitt's work was multidisciplinary, humorous, philosophical and even religious.

    Locating Sol LeWitt contains nine new essays that explore the artist's work across media, addressing topics such as LeWitt's formative friendships with colleagues at the Museum of Modern Art in the early 1960s, his photographs of Manhattan's Lower East Side, his 1979 collaboration with Lucinda Childs and Philip Glass and its impact on his printmaking, and his commissions related to Jewish history and the Holocaust. The essays offer insights into the role of parody, experimentation and uncertainty in the artist's practice, as well as contingency in relation to site, space and movement. Together, these studies illuminate the full breadth of LeWitt's creativity and offer a multifaceted reassessment of this singular and influential artist.
