Sol LeWitt, American, b. 1928, Acrylic Wall Drawing, executed January 2007

NEW YORK.- Modern American artist Sol LeWitt, 78, died in New York due to cancer complications. He was linked to various movements including conceptual art and minimalism. His mediums were predominantly painting, drawing, and structures (a term he preferred in opposition to sculpture).
He had been the subject of hundreds of solo exhibitions in museums and galleries worldwide since 1965. His prolific two and three-dimensional work ranges from Wall Drawings, over 1200 of which have been executed, to photographs and hundreds of works on paper and extends to structures in the form of towers, pyramids, geometric forms, and progressions. These works range in size from maquettes to monumental outdoor pieces. Lire la suite http://www.artdaily.com/section/news/index.asp?int_sec=2&int_new=19876
