More DescriptionSol LeWitt (1928-2007) was an American artist who worked within a number of movements, most notably Conceptualism and Minimalism. He rose to fame in the late 1960s with his wall drawings and structures, but he also produced works in a wide range of media including printmaking, photography, and painting. In the mid-1990s LeWitt started using gouache, an opaque water-based paint, to produce free-flowing abstract works in contrasting colours. These represented a significant departure from the rest of his practice, as he created these works with his own hands. This volume, created by LeWitt for La Fabrica¿s Matador series in 2003, contains 20 gouches of vertical, horizontal and diagonal grids printed in pairs.
