Two Open Modular Cubes / Half-Off

author

Sol LeWitt

description

The Tate Gallery, London (the UK).

Painted wood.

In this work, Sol LeWitt used two white cubes, which he connected slightly shifting them relatively each other. According to the artist, the most interesting characteristic of the cube is that it practically does not represent any interest in itself and therefore serves as an excellent material for its meaningless conceptual compositions. This sculpture is part of a series of similar works of the same size and colour. In addition to the double cube, LeWitt also created compositions of three and five cubes, which are not aligned in a row but are with certain verified offsets.
