This is a collection of works by American artist Sol LeWitt (1928–2007). Known as a representative figure of the movement from Minimal Art to Conceptual Art since the 1960s, LeWitt expanded the very concept of "creation" in art through modular structures using cubes and wall drawings, based on the idea that "ideas are what create works." He is also known for his important 1967 text, "Paragraphs on Conceptual Art," and his emphasis on systems and regularity over the artist's handiwork has had a great influence on subsequent modern art. This book was published in conjunction with a retrospective exhibition held at the Museum of Modern Art in 1978, and comprehensively includes three-dimensional works, drawings, serial compositions, and representative wall drawings. His thinking, which emphasizes repetition and structure, is quietly reflected in the layout of the book. More than just a catalog, it is an important publication that captures the atmosphere of the 1970s, a time when conceptual art was becoming institutionalized.
