Sol Lewitt (1928-2007) - Rare screen print: “Five Geometric Figures in Five Colors”
1986
Rare, original screen print with a square composition in grey, from the well-known series “Five Geometric Figures in Five Colors” by Sol LeWitt.
Signed by the artist lower right.
This screen print is not numbered, as each individual graphic is unique – a special feature within this series.
As documented in the Catalogue Raisonné “Sol LeWitt Prints” (Ref. 1986.06):
Thirty-two sets of 25 prints each were produced. Each set used all five geometric shapes and five colors, in keeping with the series' title. Although all sets were conceived identically (25 unique combinations), the artist and publisher divided them into a total of 160 individual sets of five. Of these, 150 sets were multi-colored, with occasionally more than one shape appearing in the same color. None of these editions were numbered, as each combination is individual and therefore unique.
The print offered here comes from one of these original sets.
Publisher: Bébert, Rotterdam

About the artist Sol LeWitt
Sol LeWitt (1928–2007) is considered one of the most important representatives of Minimal Art and Conceptual Art. Since his first exhibition in New York in 1965, he has had hundreds of solo exhibitions in renowned museums and galleries worldwide. With his famous motto, "The idea becomes a machine that makes art," he reduced art to its conceptual essence. Sol LeWitt always worked with basic geometric shapes such as the sphere, triangle, and cube—forms that continue to characterize his clearly structured, intellectual visual language to this day.
