Hours: Tue–Fri 11am–5pm, Sat 12pm–4pm (closed public holidays).
'The Concentric Influences of Sol LeWitt: Foundations, Pivots and Place' positions Australia at the centre of an ambitious global dialogue on conceptual art, influence and the circulation of ideas. Instigated and directed by Dr Irene Barberis, the project demonstrates how Australian scholarship and curatorial innovation can actively shape international discourse surrounding one of the most influential artists of the twentieth century.
In the 1960s, American artist Sol LeWitt revolutionised the definition of contemporary art by presenting the simple but radical idea that a work of art’s concept is more important than its form. LeWitt challenged our ways of seeing and thinking about art. Seen by many as a pivotal figure in twentieth-century American art, LeWitt’s ideas and practices continue to impact a wide range of artists from around the world. A LeWitt Wall Drawing will be the centre of this exhibition.
Curated by Irene Barberis with Helen Rayment.
The Sol LeWitt Wall Drawing is generously loaned by the LeWitt Family and Estate.
This exhibition is presented by RMIT University at RMIT Gallery.
