LeWitt came to fame in the late
1960s with his wall drawings and
"structures" (a term he preferred
instead of "sculptures").

The Toledo Museum of
art has one of Sol’s
“structures” in its collection.

His use of open, modular structures originates from
the cube.

Cube-A box-shaped solid object that has six identical square faces.
A cube has 6 square faces.
A cube has 8 points (vertices).
A cube has 12 edges.
A square is in many ways like a cube, only in two dimensions rather than three.

The cube was a form that
influenced the artist’s thinking
from the time that he first became an
artist.

At first he created closed forms that
looked like wooden boxes wooden objects

In the 1960s he “decided to remove the skin altogether and reveal the structure.”

This skeletal form, the radically
simplified open cube, became
a basic building block of the
artist’s three-dimensional
work

Many of his works are large scale and constructed in aluminum or steel.
