Sol LeWitt (b. 1928) 'Parapraphs on Conceptual Art'


LeWitt's work:

the work of repetition and permutaion
systematic exclusion of any individuality of touch
in 20s, open-framed, rectangular structures presented in series
in 60s, formulating proposals for wall drawings, to be executed according to his insturctions

The present text is taken from the first publication in Artform, vol.5, no.10, Summer 1967, pp.79-83
