Description
American Modernism Minimalism LeWitt, Sol 22 silkscreen prints in: Jorge Luis Borges. Ficciones. 1984. Each silkscreen print on chamois-coloured handmade paper. Sheet dimensions: 12.7 x 17.8 cm (20.3 x 20.3 cm) each. Signed and numbered by the artist in the colophon. In a black calfskin binding with matching slipcase. - Sol Lewitt Prints, Catalogue Raisonné, 1984.01. - One of 1,500 copies. - English edition. - Published by the Limited Edition Club, New York, 1984. The 22 silkscreen prints interpret Borges’ labyrinths, reflections and constructions of the world not as illustrations, but as an abstract logic of signs. It is precisely here that LeWitt’s conceptual method becomes apparent: the image becomes a precise order of rules, repetition and variation. Sol LeWitt occupies a central position in art history as a pioneer of Conceptual Art and Minimalism, because for him the idea takes precedence over the material object. His works shift art from individual execution to clear instructions that can also be realised by others. With his wall drawings, modular cubes and grid structures, he translates geometric order into open, often spatially-oriented visual systems. Minimalism. – 22 silkscreen prints in: Jorge Luis Borges.
