Sol LeWitt (1928-2007) was a leading figure of Minimalism and a pioneer of Conceptual Art. He helped redefine art in the 1960s with his belief that “the idea becomes a machine that makes the art. His wall drawings put forward the radical view of artmaking that artists need only provide an idea for an artwork. LeWitt’s ephemeral wall drawings exist as a list of clearly defined instructions to be executed by others. Over 1,100 of his wall drawings have been installed in galleries and museums throughout the world. "Wall Drawing 353" (c. 1981) consists of five large-scale geometric forms rendered in black lithographic crayon. Led by a master draftsperson from the LeWitt Foundation, students will create the drawing directly on the walls of the Michael and Noémi Neidorff Art Gallery using LeWitt’s specified procedures and materials. Having only been exhibited twice before, most recently at the Centre Pompidou, Paris, the Department of Art and Art History is excited to share Wall Drawing 353 and LeWitt’s iconic work with the Texas art community.
