    Sol LeWitt: 123454321

    123454321 expresses LeWitt’s approach to minimalist composition. It is a construction of cinder blocks set in a formal arrangement. Each series of blocks is in the proportion 1:1:2. This ratio forms the sequence for the whole structure and is typical of his use of simple numerical systems and serial progressions. The work has a restrained and calculated beauty, which stems from the purity of mathematical principles.
