Beskrivning
A series of screenprints by Sol LeWitt exploring geometric arrangements and colour sequences through a systematic, conceptual approach.
Sol LeWitt, a central figure in the development of Conceptual Art, produced the Wadsworth Portfolio in 1993. This series of screenprints demonstrates his systematic approach to visual organisation. LeWitt often prioritised the idea behind a work over its physical execution, frequently employing assistants to realise his wall drawings and prints based on precise, written instructions.
In this specific portfolio, the artist explores the interaction of colour and geometry through a rigorous set of rules. Each square frame is divided into smaller sections, containing either straight, diagonal, or concentric circular bands. The palette is consistent across the series, utilising a spectrum of primary and secondary colours that repeat in a fixed sequence. By limiting the variables to these specific geometric configurations, LeWitt removes subjective expression from the process. The result is a series that functions as a logical investigation of form and colour relationships.
These prints reflect the artist's interest in seriality, a method he used throughout his career to exhaust the possibilities of a given system. The visual effect is one of rhythmic repetition, where the eye is guided across the surface by the predictable movement of the lines. The work avoids traditional notions of composition, opting instead for a modular structure that can be expanded or rearranged. This approach aligns with the artist's belief that the concept is a machine that makes the art. The Wadsworth Portfolio remains a clear example of his ability to transform mathematical constraints into a coherent visual language, offering a precise study of how colour behaves when subjected to strict, predetermined parameters.

Artist Biography
Sol Lewitt
LeWitt wrote a letter to the sculptor Eva Hesse in 1965 when she was paralysed by self-doubt. He told her to try to do some bad work. The worst you can think of and see what happens but mainly relax and let everything go to hell. Two days after Hesse's death in 1970, he created Wall Drawing 46 in her memory, using non-straight lines for the first time. The aesthetic shift was credited to her influence.
He was born in Hartford, Connecticut, in 1928, to Russian Jewish immigrant parents. His father died when he was six. He drew on wrapping paper from his aunt's shop and took art classes at the Wadsworth Atheneum. He served in the Korean War, then settled in New York.
From 1968, he created over a thousand numbered wall drawings. He conceived them as musical scores that anyone could execute: a set of written instructions, carried out by other people, with the physical drawing destroyed after each exhibition. The idea, he argued, was the machine that makes the art. The execution was secondary. He championed and financially supported women artists who were being sidelined by the male-dominated art world. He refused to participate in celebrity culture and remained deliberately private. He died in 2007.
