Sol LeWitt is regarded as the founder of both minimalism and conceptual art. His work was heavily influenced by geometric form and a firm sense of aesthetic. LeWitt’s work is infused with an extremely dry sense of humour (for instance, Buried Cube Containing an Object of Importance but Little Value was a piece of work buried in the garden of Dutch collectors). LeWitt preferred to refer to his sculptures as “structures,” removing the importance of what we traditionally accept as sculpture and broadening the definitions of art. Sadly, LeWitt died in 2007, but has left behind an incredible legacy.
