Sol LeWitt (America, 1928–2007) was one of the most influential artists of his generation.
A pioneer of conceptual art, he led the way with a new way of thinking about making art. ‘In conceptual art the idea or concept is the most important aspect of the work’, LeWitt wrote in a landmark essay in 1967- Paragraphs on Conceptual Art
LeWitt’s work was recently shown at the AGNSW alongside paintings from his personal art collection by Indigenous artists Emily Kam Ngwarray and Gloria Tamerre Petyarre. We love his uplifting, balance work.
A couple of nice links to his work:
