SOL LEWITT (1928-2007)

"Intellectual substance is paired with visual delight...LeWitt transforms the idea into objects of exquisite beauty and elegance, deliberately introducing elements of chance, intuition, or irrationality into the systems that govern the creation of his works. LeWitt's delicate balancing act between thought and form, between order and disorder, between authorship and anonymity, has exerted an enormous influence on artists of subsequent generations."
– Gary Garrels (G. Garrels, M. Friedman and S. Lewitt, Sol LeWitt: A Retrospective, exh. cat., San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, 2000)
