Soft cover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. Profusely Illustrated (illustrator). 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 116 pages. Published in 1980. Collection of photographs, presented as an Artist Book. One of the most original and influential photobooks of the 20th century. The first and only edition. Published in a small and limited print run as a softcover original only. The First Edition is now rare. An austerely elegant production by Sol LeWitt: Oversize-volume format. White softcovers, as issued. Photographs by Sol LeWitt. There is very minimal text. Printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper in the United States to the highest standards. In pictorial DJ with titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Presents Sol LeWitt's "Autobiography 1980". His pictorial autobiography, circa 1980, rigorously and originally restricted to his physical, material space, whose specific objects nevertheless refer to both his inner life (private thoughts, feelings, sensations) and mental life (as a Conceptual artist of the first rank). "Shows LeWitt's work space, tools, cabinets for storage, furniture, books, appliances, clocks, records and tapes, pieces of art and family photographs. Each of the nine photographs on every page is arranged in a grid format. Every reference is the same size with no object in his space more important than another" (Publisher's blurb). "The artist catalogues every corner, crevice, and item in his loft: The bare facts of his everyday existence. We investigate each image, but the significance of this Autobiography derives from the connection between images on a page, on a spread, and from page to page. Presents the life of the artist as the life of a particular person, in a particular culture, at a particular time and place. An unparalleled work. Singular in its demonstration that LeWitt's abstract geometric forms are inextricable from the experience of his life and culture" (Adam Weinberg). An absolute "must-have" title for Sol LeWitt collectors. This copy is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed, placed, and dated in black ink-pen on the front free endpaper by Sol LeWitt. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. There is no recipient named. This title is a pioneering and great photobook.

It is NOT price-clipped. It has NO bumps or markings. Please note: Copies available online have very serious flaws. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative.

Jorge Francisco Isidoro Luis Borges Acevedo (1899 1986) was an Argentine short-story writer, essayist, poet and translator regarded as a key figure in Spanish-language and international literature. His best-known works, Ficciones and El Aleph, published in the 1940s, are collections of short stories exploring motifs such as dreams, labyrinths, chance, infinity, archives, mirrors, fictional writers and mythology. Borges's works have contributed to philosophical literature and the fantasy genre, and have had a major influence on the magic realist movement in 20th century Latin American literature. Solomon "Sol" LeWitt (1928 2007) was an American artist linked to various movements, including conceptual art and minimalism. LeWitt came to fame in the late 1960s with his wall drawings and "structures" (a term he preferred to "sculptures") but was prolific in a wide range of media including drawing, printmaking, photography, painting, installation, and artist's books. He has been the subject of hundreds of solo exhibitions in museums and galleries around the world since 1965. The first biography of the artist, Sol LeWitt: A Life of Ideas, by Lary Bloom, was published by Wesleyan University Press in the spring of 2019. Twenty two silk screens by Sol LeWitt. Edition limited to 1500 numbered copies. Each book signed by Sol LeWitt. Sol LeWitt created twenty two drawings which he calls a counterpoint to the text. He also designed the actual volume itself, from choosing the typeface to determining the size of the pages. Months were spent casting and composing the type. All the italics had to be set separately and cut in by hand. Each of the twenty two silkscreen prints were tipped in by hand. RAREA1984PXYA - 06/18 FORN-TUB-0069-BB-2503-HKREV589.

Exquisitely designed by the artist for the exhibition held from 4 October to 4 November 1990. Light spotting on top left edge, else a very good copy. Provenance collection Guy Schraenen. from the Portikus website: With its opening exhibition in October, 1987, showing "Publiziertes und Unpubliziertes" ("Published and Unpublished Works") by Dieter Roth, Portikus began its exhibition series presenting parallel to the Frankfurt book fair an artist, who is especially committed to the book as an autonomous medium of artistic work. After Ilya Kabakov - 10 Albums - in 1988 and Lawrence Wiener last year, Portikus now presents the book projects of Sol Lewitt. Sol Lewitt belongs, as does Lawrence Wiener, to the most important representatives of American conceptual art, a term Lewitt introduced into the debate in his Paragraphs and Sentences on Conceptual Art. His pictorial concept is based on the formal language developed concurrently by minimal art. In various media, Lewitt elaborated its reduced vocabulary based on elementary geometric and stereometric forms to serial structures. The presentation of the concept is in the foreground, while its physical realisation is secondary. "The idea itself, even if not turned into a visible form, is also a work of art just like any completed product. All stages in between - initial scribbles, sketches, drawings, unsuccessful works, models, studies, thoughts, conversations - are of interest. Those showing the artist's process of thought are often more interesting than the final result." (Paragraphs, 1966) This means that the formal and material aesthetics of the work steps back in favour of the concept, without, however, being excluded. This becomes especially evident in the coloured wall drawings; their visible sensuousness only seemingly contradicts the stringent conceptuality. The individual work is not directed towards rational relationships in regard to its visible qualities or its conceptual structure; rather, Lewitt is concerned with thematising such a relationship as simply antithetic. The logical, systematic variation of formal shapes is subordinated to the idea of a potential multitude of systems of order. Next to giving these ideas shape in sculptures and wall drawings, Lewitt, since the mid-sixties, has been using the book as a medium for presenting his concepts. For Lewitt, as for other artists at that time, the book was an adequate medium for realising one's ideas and expanding the traditional forms of presentation in exhibitions. A necessity also to be seen in the context of developing new artistic practices and dimensions aimed at breaking free of the museum and appropriating outside space for art. In the books Sol Lewitt realised as autonomous works, three formal lines of development can be differentiated: the early books mainly contain recordings of conceptual ideas in the form of simple sketches and descriptions; then, books were made in which colour or drawing systems were elaborated using various graphical means of expression; finally, books containing photographs were added, in which temporal and atmospheric aspects convey the concept. On the occasion of the exhibition, a catalogue designed by Sol Lewitt is published containing a list of all his book-projects. Only those are taken into account, however, which Lewitt regards as autonomous works; therefore the catalogues he designed, as well as small editions containing etchings and screen prints are excluded.

All 32 "sets" were the same, as each set of 25 had all five shapes in all five colours (25 combinations). However, those "sets" of 25 were not meant to be kept together, but were broken up by the artist and publisher to be almost all unique groups of five, making 160 sets of five, in total. 150 sets were multi colored. These sets are all unique in their combination (with some sets of 5 having more than one shape in the same color). None of these were numbered as they are all unique. *** Publisher : Bébert, Rotterdam *** This piece is beautifully framed and preserved, making it a highly collectible artwork from one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. *** The work is professionally framed to museum standards, floating, within a acid-free passe-partout, in a bespoke black wooden frame, hand-made in the Netherlands, with with UltraVue® ArtGlass, offering maximum clarity, UV protection, and minimal reflection.

This original gouache by Sol LeWitt reveals a rare, more painterly and intuitive side of the artists practice. ** The gouache is signed and dated in pencil lower right (S. LeWitt 98) and executed on thick Fabriano paper with dry stamp. ** The composition consists of deep layers of purple and blue, creating an almost landscape-like abstraction. Transparency and density alternate, while the lighter blue area contrasts with the darker purple section. The result is a serene, spatial composition with strong visual depth. ** In contrast to his well-known conceptual wall drawings and modular structures, this work demonstrates a freer approach. Seriality and repetition remain present, but are translated here into a more meditative and painterly language. ** This unique gouache is professionally framed, mounted on linen and float-mounted in a custom-made acid-free passe-partout, presented in a handcrafted wooden frame with UltraVue® UV70 museum glass. Framed size approx. 54 × 54 cm. ** Sol LeWitt (1928 - 2007) is regarded as one of the founders of conceptual art and minimalism.

This original gouache by Sol LeWitt is a serene and atmospheric work in which color, gesture, and conceptual structure subtly converge. ** The gouache is signed and dated in pencil lower right (S. LeWitt 98) and executed on thick Fabriano paper with dry stamp. ** The composition is built up through soft, layered brushstrokes in subtle blue and light tonalities, creating an almost floating and ethereal surface. In contrast to LeWitts more rigid geometric works and wall drawings, this piece reveals a more painterly and intuitive approach, where repetition and variation emerge from movement rather than strict systems. The more saturated blue edges frame the central field and enhance the sense of depth and spatial vibration. ** This unique gouache is professionally framed, mounted on linen and float-mounted in a custom-made acid-free passe-partout, presented in a handcrafted wooden frame with UltraVue® UV70 museum glass.

Tokyo: Galerie Watari, 1980. An extremely rare suite of four woodblock prints, all numbered and signed by Sol LeWitt (1928-2007). These prints were finely executed on Echizen-Kizuki-Hosho paper by the Adachi Institute in an edition of 40 copies (+ 10 A.P.). The same year, Shizuko Watari's Galerie Watari also published a scarce LeWitt artist's book with a slightly shortened title, All Four Part Combinations of Six Geometric Figures. Both publications coincided with the artist's exhibition at Watari's gallery which opened 1 March 1980. Boldly printed in blue, black, red, and yellow, our set of this print suite features a circle, square, triangle, and rhombus, matching the combination of shapes of 1980.08 in the catalogue raisonné (see below). Based on the portfolio title, there are probably four distinct shape combinations, with 10 copies printed of each. The portfolio and the four prints are in pristine condition, in the publisher's original cardboard enclosure and slipcase. Unrecorded by WorldCat.

12 black & white illus. [24] pp. Very tall 8vo (169 x 356 mm.), orig. printed wrappers (some sunning), staple-bound. Zurich: Bruno Bischofberger, 1969. LeWitt's second "autonomous" artist's book i.e., not connected to an exhibition or part of another publication. This is one of 1000 copies printed, all of which were numbered (ours is no. 924), there were also 500 copies signed by LeWitt. 49 three-part variations was published by the Zurich gallerist Bruno Bischofberger, with whom LeWitt had his first solo presentation in February-March 1968. Bischofberger, along with Konrad Fischer and Heiner Friedrich, was one of the earliest European gallerists to engage and collaborate with LeWitt and other Conceptual artists. "Following Serial Project #1, 'The Xerox Book' and Set II A I-24, Sol LeWitt's fourth book is 49 Three-Part Variations, which was published in 1969 and is large and oblong in shape, its proportions being two squares wide by one square high. This doubling of the square format is approximately repeated with other books such as Schematic Drawings for Muybridge II, 1964 of 1970, Open Geometric Structures of 1979 and All Four Part Combinations of Six Geometric Figures of 1980. In each case the horizontal format is dictated by the content. 49 Three-Part Variations is the second of LeWitt's autonomous artist's books, and, again, is not an exhibition catalogue but more a catalogue of forms."Clive Phillpot, "Sol LeWitt's Books: Complete & Incomplete," in Booktrek: Selected Essays on Artists' Books (1972-2010) (2013), p. 261.
