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.
Sol LeWitt is my poster child for the Emperor's New Clothes. This is 'conceptual art' for people born w/o brains. Tell people that it's conceptual enuf & they'll parrot the opinion regardless of how obviously thoughtless & shallow the work is.
This is a bk of fotos of a cock fight. At the end, a cat approaches the 2 cocks who're probably too engrossed in fighting to notice that they're being stalked by a predator. Big Fucking Deal. & this is published by a major art publisher in full color. What a waste.
Such a work can be made in a half-hr or so. It's barely a notch above any idiot's tourist fotos except that LeWitt can probably afford a good camera. Did he even take the pictures? Who cares?
