{"product_id":"vertical-lines-not-touching-sol-lewitt","title":"Vertical Lines, Not Touching - Sol LeWitt","description":"\u003cp\u003eA minimalist etching by Sol LeWitt, featuring a square of precisely placed vertical lines that do not touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSol LeWitt, a central figure in the development of Conceptual Art and Minimalism, produced this work as part of his rigorous exploration of geometric systems. The piece consists of a square field populated by fine, vertical lines. These lines are placed with precision, adhering to the artist's instruction that they must not touch one another. By removing the subjective hand of the artist, LeWitt allows the system itself to dictate the visual outcome.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe work functions as a set of instructions made visible. The viewer observes a grey, textured square that emerges from the density of the lines against the white paper. From a distance, the individual marks coalesce into a singular, uniform tone. Upon closer inspection, the grid-like logic and the deliberate spacing between each mark become apparent. This tension between the perceived whole and the individual components is a hallmark of LeWitt's practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLeWitt often prioritised the idea behind the work over its physical execution. He frequently employed assistants to carry out his wall drawings and prints, ensuring that the concept remained the primary focus. This approach shifted the role of the artist from a creator of unique objects to a designer of systems. The resulting image is devoid of emotional expression or narrative content, inviting the viewer to engage with the mathematical and spatial properties of the composition. This print offers a clear example of how LeWitt used simple, repetitive elements to create complex visual experiences. It remains a significant piece for those interested in the history of twentieth-century abstraction and the reduction of art to its most basic, logical components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/cirkel-sipke-huismans\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eCirkel by Sipke Huismans\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/untitled-wrinkle-i-liliana-porter\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eUntitled (Wrinkle I) by Liliana Porter\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sol LeWitt","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59138776564047,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59138790097231,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59138790129999,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59138790162767,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59138790195535,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59138790228303,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59138790261071,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59138790293839,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59138790326607,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59138790359375,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59138790392143,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59138790424911,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Vertical-Lines-Not-Touching_Poster_CompositorV1_1792120745795.jpg?v=1792201353","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/vertical-lines-not-touching-sol-lewitt","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
