{"title":"Sol LeWitt","description":"\u003cp\u003eSol LeWitt (1928–2007) was an American artist central to the development of conceptual art and minimalism. From the mid-1960s, LeWitt developed a practice based on the primacy of the idea: works were defined by written instructions that could be executed by others, in any location, at any time. His wall drawings, structures, and artist books established that the concept is the artwork, and its physical realisation is secondary.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeWitt was a prolific publisher and correspondent. His \u003cem\u003eParagraphs on Conceptual Art\u003c\/em\u003e (1967) and \u003cem\u003eSentences on Conceptual Art\u003c\/em\u003e (1969) remain foundational texts. He produced hundreds of artist books, catalogues, and printed works throughout his career, often in collaboration with galleries and institutions in Europe and North America.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePublications gathered here include artist books, exhibition catalogues, and printed matter by and about Sol LeWitt.
