Sol LeWitt is also regarded as the founder of Minimal and Conceptual Art. His work ranges mainly from his 2D wall drawings to its extension to structures in form of geometric shapes, towers, pyramids and progressions.
He liked calling his sculptures as "Structures". This term he used for describing all of his 3-dimensional works. For his structures, he basically used the basic shapes such as cube. His structures were mostly modular. His designs began with heavy wooden blocks which were heavily hand lacquered. Later it came up to open cubes, which became the basic building clocks for his majority of 3D work.
Sol LleWitt is closely identified with geometric and rectilinear forms. It was during mid 1990's, his forms began to loosen up.
One of his work in structures:
Sol LeWitt died during its fabrication. It is the largest and most complex of these pieces.
Another work of his :
Sol LeWitt used lines, geometric solids, ratio, patterns, formulas, and permutations to create his modern structures and wall paintings.
