Description
Sol LeWitt: A Multidisciplinary Artist This book offers a comprehensive examination of Sol LeWitt's wide-ranging artistic practice, spanning sculpture, printmaking, photography, artist's books, and more. Through nine new essays, the author explores LeWitt's work across various media, revealing his use of parody, experimentation, and uncertainty in his creative process. LeWitt's oeuvre is characterized by its multidisciplinary nature, humor, philosophy, and even religiosity. The book delves into aspects of his practice that are both familiar and underappreciated, including his photographs of Manhattan's Lower East Side, his 1979 collaboration with Lucinda Childs and Philip Glass, and his commissions linked to Jewish history and the Holocaust. By examining these various facets of LeWitt's work, this book provides a multifaceted reassessment of this influential artist.
