对20世纪具影响力的美国艺术家之一的广泛实践的启示性思考

作为极简主义和概念艺术的先驱，索尔-勒维特（1928-2007）以其不朽的壁画而闻名。然而，勒维特广泛的艺术实践还包括雕塑、版画、摄影、艺术家书籍、素描、水粉画以及折叠和撕裂的纸张作品。

《定位索尔-勒维特》包含九篇新的文章，探讨了这位艺术家的跨媒体作品，涉及的主题包括：勒维特在20世纪60年代初与现代艺术博物馆的同事形成的友谊；他对曼哈顿下东区的摄影作品；他在1979年与露辛达-蔡尔德和菲利普-格拉斯的合作及其对其版画创作的影响。这些文章提供了关于模仿、实验和不确定性在艺术家实践中的作用的洞察力，并研究了场地、空间和运动的问题。这些研究共同揭示了勒维特创造力的全部范围，并对这位独特而有影响力的艺术家进行了多层面的重新评估。

A revelatory consideration of the wide-ranging practice of one of the most influential American artists of the 20th centur

A pioneer of minimalism and conceptual art, Sol LeWitt (1928–2007) is best known for his monumental wall drawings. LeWitt’s broad artistic practice, however, also included sculpture, printmaking, photography, artist’s books, drawings, gouaches, and folded and ripped paper works. From the familiar to the underappreciated aspects of LeWitt’s oeuvre, this book examines the ways that his art was multidisciplinary, humorous, philosophical, and even religious.

Locating Sol LeWitt contains nine new essays that explore the artist’s work across media and address topics such as LeWitt’s formative friendships with colleagues at the Museum of Modern Art in the early 1960s; his photographs of Manhattan’s Lower East Side; his 1979 collaboration with Lucinda Childs and Philip Glass and its impact on his printmaking; and his commissions linked tohistory and the Holocaust. The essays offer insights into the role of parody, experimentation, and uncertainty in the artist’s practice, and investigate issues of site, space, and movement. Together, these studies reveal the full scope of LeWitt’s creativity and offer a multifaceted reassessment of this singular and influential artist.
