Sol LeWitt 1.3

Discover the legacy of Sol LeWitt, a pioneer of Minimalism and Conceptual art, in a whole new light. In partnership with Microsoft, the Sol LeWitt Estate has utilized cutting-edge technology, including artificial intelligence (AI), to offer audiences the unprecedented opportunity to delve into the life, creative process, and artworks of LeWitt with meticulous detail.

Go beyond traditional museum visits or merely reading about art history in books. The Sol LeWitt app breathes life into his art:

• Scan a Wall Drawing: Explore selected LeWitt artworks across North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. Utilize your iPhone’s camera to scan them and delve deeper into each piece, uncovering insights into the creation and installation process.
• Virtual Studio Tour: Take an interactive, 360-degree virtual tour of LeWitt’s usually restricted studio in Chester, Connecticut. Manipulate your iPhone to examine the space closely; moreover, click on various objects to gain further knowledge about each item.
• Mapping LeWitt: Journey through LeWitt's lifetime via a timeline enriched with interactive maps showcasing his global impact. Each entry features an extensive article packed with images and media sourced from the LeWitt Estate. Activate your iPhone’s GPS to determine proximity to the nearest scannable artwork.
• Work Themes: Immerse yourself in a series of multimedia articles spotlighting six of LeWitt's principal work themes. Delight in exclusive audio recordings, videos, and sketches from LeWitt himself that delve into why he gravitated towards Seriality, Lines & Bands, Geometric & Isometric shapes, Locations, Continuous & Complex Forms, and Curvy & Loopy designs.

The Sol LeWitt App has been authored and curated by Lindsay Aveilhé, the editor of the catalogue raisonné Sol LeWitt Wall Drawings.
