Floor structure

Private collection.

Painted wood.

One of the well-known modular structures of Sol LeWitt consists of five cubes horizontally interconnected. The cube became the main form of the artist’s works in the mid-1960s, and all of his sculptures of this period consisted of these geometric elements, with different sizes and colours. Sometimes these were quite simple compositions, occasionally complex, intricate designs, but the cube served as the basis for everything. Like all works in the style of minimalism, this composition is based on pure visual perception. Emotions and any narrative are excluded as unnecessary and distracting from direct “watching” when the viewer “sees only what he can see and nothing more”.
