Sol Lewitt Drawings 1958-1992
Susanna Singer
Sol LeWitt has personally designed the catalogue, presented here which accompanied a corresponding exhibition at Haags Gemeenteemuseum, The Hague.
This exhibition catalogue is a chronological overview of LeWitt’s production, ranging from his earliest drawings, which date back to the 1950s and are effective sketches or studies of geometric forms, to the repetitive systems of modular cubes through which he attempts to reduce subjective expressivity to the bare minimum. It also includes line drawings, which he translates into extremely precise words so that there is not a shadow of a doubt as to the length, the direction and the distance of the lines to be executed. The catalogue concludes with a sample of his most recent works: compositions consisting of bands of colored ink, which have now replaced the lines and curves that he has gradually abandoned.
No matter what art form he uses, LeWitt always starts by making preliminary studies that capture his concept and are a prelude to the possible execution of his works. This panoramic exhibition catalogue displays the full scope of the drawings produced by LeWitt during more than thirty years of intense activity.
