LeWitt, who was born in Connecticut in 1928, is one of the most influential
artists alive today. In the catalog for his 1978 retrospective at New York's
Museum of Modern Art, Bernice Rose, Curator of Drawings, said that his
innovative ways of drawing directly on walls "was as important for drawing,
as Pollock's use of the drip technique had been for painting in the 1950s."

a r t w o r k : "In the 1970s, LeWitt introduced architectural scale works, Wall Drawings, based on verbal proposals or systems suggested by LeWitt but executed by others. In the 1980s the Wall Drawings became more expressive with sensual color applied to various permutations of geometric shapes. In the 90s LeWitt has used undulating waves and swirling bands of color that are hot, bold and highly decorative." The above information
