"Sol LeWitt: Incomplete Open Cubes/MATRIX 143"
2001-01-27 until 2001-04-29
Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art
Hartford, CT, USA United States of America

The minimal and conceptual artist Sol LeWitt is one of the most influential living American artists. His sculptures-or structures, as he calls them-defined the movement away from representation into intellectually rigorous and elementally beautiful abstraction. This exhibition assembles selections from Variations on an Incomplete Open Cube (1974), a series of 122 sculptures now scattered throughout the world, for the first time.

The works will be installed throughout the museum, stimulating comparisons with art of earlier centuries. Coinciding with the LeWitt retrospective at the Whitney Museum of American Art, this show pays tribute to the artist whose relationship with the Wadsworth Atheneum began with the art classes he took at the museum as a child.
