Sol Lewitt

- Biografia

Nato a Hartford in Connecticut nel 1928, è uno dei più importanti artisti americani di questo secolo.

Studia alla Syracuse University di New York e, nella stessa città, insegna alla Museum of Modern Art School e alla Cooper Union. I suoi esordi artistici avvengono nell’ambito del disegno, a matita o, preferibilmente, ad inchiostro. LeWitt si è affermato con la sua arte Minimal negli anni Sessanta per reazione al dilagare dell’action painting di Jackson Pollock e seguaci. Maestro minimalista e concettuale, il suo lavoro si sviluppa attraverso strutture mentali e strutture visuali concrete ed è caratterizzato da una costante ricerca che permette all’artista di collocarsi nell’ambito di un continuo rinnovamento rilevando la sua inequivocabile unicità. L’intento di LeWitt è di mostrare i nessi del reale: non i contenuti, non i significati, ma il significante, la sintassi, le giunture, i rapporti. Nel 1978-79 Il MoMa consacra la prima retrospettiva all’artista. Muore nel 2007. Le sue opere si trovano nei maggiori musei del mondo.
