Description
Sol LeWitt Prints: A Comprehensive Survey This generously illustrated volume offers a comprehensive look at Sol LeWitt's printmaking practice, a significant yet underexplored aspect of his oeuvre. Drawing together new archival research and careful material and visual analyses, David S. Areford situates LeWitt's prints within the broader context of his serial-, system-, and rule-based approach to artmaking. Over 400 illustrations, many never before published, provide a more complete picture of LeWitt's output and highlight the essential place printmaking holds in his work. By examining the specific processes of print media, Areford argues that they were perfectly suited for LeWitt's particular brand of conceptual art, where "the idea becomes the machine that makes the art."
