Solomon " Sol " LeWitt ( 1928 - 2007 ) was an American artist of a Russian Jewish background, linked to various movements, including Conceptual Art and Minimalism. LeWitt came to fame in the late 1960's with his Wall Drawings and " Structures " but was prolific in a wide range of mediums including drawing, printmaking, photography, painting, installation, and artist's books. Artworks by LeWitt have been the subject of hundreds of solo exhibitions in many of the most prestigious museums and galleries around the world since 1965.

One of the most important American artists of The 20th Century, Sol LeWitt spent decades creating artworks that explore the potential ideas for making visual forms. He transformed these ideas into objects of exquisite beauty and elegance, deliberately introducing elements of chance and intuition into the creation of his works. His delicate balancing between thought and form, between order and disorder, between authorship and anonymity, has exerted an enormous influence on artists of subsequent generations. This exhibition the first retrospective of LeWitt's work in more than twenty years, presented a deeper understanding of the artist's career and its significance to American Art and thought.
