Sol LeWitt
1928–2007
American sculptor, printmaker, and draftsman Sol LeWitt began his artistic career as a graphic designer for architect I. M. Pei. LeWitt first achieved recognition in the early 1960s, when he abandoned painting for sculpture and became a leading exponent of minimal and conceptual art. He is best known for his serial and modular works, including his wall drawings. LeWitt has been the subject of hundreds of solo exhibitions in museums and galleries.
