Simplicity, logic, openness. The words that come to mind when describing the work of Sol LeWitt resonate with essential aesthetic and intellectual values. His works are straightforward and legible. Yet, upon closer observation and consideration, even those that initially appear direct and obvious reveal complex subtlety in decision-making.
Intellectual substance is paired with visual delight, both of which seep into one's consciousness.
Four decades of LeWitt's work are charted in this exhibition. The exhibition is organized within a generally chronological framework. In addition, new wall drawings were commissioned for the two large panel walls in the museum atrium, and wall drawings have been executed in the second and third floor galleries. A recent structure made from concrete blocks has been built on the outdoor terrace off the fourth-floor galleries. A Retrospective is organized by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
