Sol LeWitt, who was born in Connecticut in 1928, was one of the most influential artists in contemporary art. In the catalog for his 1978 retrospective at New York's Museum of Modern Art, Bernice Rose, Curator of Drawings, says that his innovative work drawing directly on walls "was as important for drawing as Pollock's use of the drip technique had been for painting in the 1950's ." In addition to his 1978 major retrospective, the Museum of Modern Art in New York honored him with a print retrospective in 1995.

Although he has worked extensively in drawing and printmaking, he is usually considered to be primarily a sculptor. LeWitt's most characteristic sculpture works are based on connected open cubes. Because he works with modules and systems, and his early wall drawings are based on grids, he is sometimes described as a Minimal artist, but his work, especially his recent work, is usually colorful and often quite complex. It is also optimistic and beautiful.

Sol LeWitt was one of the key artists of the 1960's. His work bridges Minimal and Conceptual art, movements that abandoned the emphasis on psychological content and gestural form typifying Abstract Expressionism in the 1950's. In a seminal text in written in 1967 titled Paragraphs on Conceptual Art , LeWitt emphasized his view of art: "No matter what form it may finally have it must begin with an idea ," and, "When an artist uses a conceptual form of art, it means that all of the planning and decisions are made beforehand and the execution is a perfunctory affair. The idea becomes a machine that makes the art ."

' Sol LeWitt: A Wall Drawing Retrospective ' is on view at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (MASS MoCA), North Adams, MA, 11/16/2008 - 11/8/2043. The works are on long-term loan from numerous private and public collections worldwide, including the Gallery, to which LeWitt donated a number of wall drawings. The exhibition opened on November 16, 2008, and was initially intended to remain on view for twenty-five years. Now extended for an additional decade, through 2043, the retrospective is housed in a 27,000-square-foot historic mill building in the heart of MASS MoCA’s campus.
