Press Release

Sol LeWitt established a set of aesthetic principles through key texts that formed the basis of his practice. The wall drawings are the result of a set of instructions that are normally brief and relatively direct, resulting in works of varying complexity and scale. The series quickly evolved into a form of visual score to be interpreted by qualified assistants at specific locations. The exhibition showcases various wall drawings executed by LeWitt and his assistants over the years.

About the Artist

Sol LeWitt, a key figure in the Conceptual Art movement, pared back the idea of creating art to its essentials, making artworks characterised by repetition, serialisation and progression across a practice spanning drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking and photography.
