LeWitt x 2
Cincinnati Art Museum
9 Feb –May 4, 2008
The Cincinnati Art Museum and the Contemporary Arts Center are partnering to present LeWitt X 2, a two-part exhibition organized by the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art. The Art Museum will present Selections from the LeWitt Collection, which includes over 100 objects dating from 1960 to the present.
These works by artist Sol LeWitt’s colleagues reflect approaches to conceptual art in a variety of media including photography, painting, and sculpture. Structure and Line offers a look at LeWitt’s own career and is exhibited at the Contemporary Arts Center.
LeWitt, one of the forefathers of Conceptual Art, traded ideas and artwork with his peers. He is probably best known for his structures (a term he preferred over sculpture) and wall drawings.
As LeWitt explained in Sentences on Conceptual Art, “Ideas can be works of art,” and each artist represented in Selections from the LeWitt Collection builds on this using their own methods.
This exhibition features pieces by artists who are also in the Art Museum’s permanent collection, such as Carl Andre, John Baldessari, Hans Haacke, Eva Hesse, Donald Judd, Alex Katz, On Kawara, Robert Mangold, Adrian Piper, and Robert Ryman.
