Sol LeWitt: Between the Lines

by Sol LeWitt (Artist), Francesco Stocchi (Editor), Rem Koolhaas (Contributor)

An exploration of the deeply intertwined relationship between Sol LeWitt's work and the architecture surrounding it Looking at a considerable range of works spanning the entire career of Sol LeWitt (1928–2007)―from seven of his famous Wall Drawings to sculptures such as Complex Form and Inverted Spiraling Tower , and including the photo-series Autobiography ―this book explores the deeply intertwined relationship between LeWitt's work and architecture. Featuring a collaboration by the architect Rem Koolhaas―as a curator, for the first time ever―in dialogue with the curator Francesco Stocchi, Between the Lines addresses broad aspects of LeWitt's oeuvre, with the aim of moving beyond the divisions that traditionally separate architecture from art history (the flouting of which characterizes the artist's entire body of work). In particular, this book reformulates the still-popular assumption that an artwork must adapt to the architecture.

Solomon "Sol" LeWitt was an American artist linked to various movements, including Conceptual art and Minimalism.
LeWitt came to fame in the late 1960s with his wall drawings and "structures" (a term he preferred instead of "sculptures") but was prolific in a wide range of media including drawing, printmaking, photography, and painting. He has been the subject of hundreds of solo exhibitions in museums and galleries around the world since 1965.
