Description
LOW RESERVE: Untited (Cube), 1984 is a hand painted & drawn Gouache and pencil on paper. It is signed “s.lewitt 1984” in the far lower right side. Deriving from his geometric wall drawing works that incorporate a technique of blotting and wiping wet media to create the impression of modulating flat form, the present work stems from one of Sol LeWitt’s earliest colored translations on paper. Following his graphic design assistance to the renowned International Style architect I. M. Pei, a champion of rectilinear form, LeWitt established a mode of variations on a geometric theme here strikingly demonstrated. Against a luminescent grey ground precisely defined, a streamlined cube with faces in glowing primary tones communicates the artist’s objective to within the rigid nature of dimensional structure endow human presence and active transparency. Provenance as follows: Private collection, Germany: Sotheby's, London, June 18, 2017, lot 667: Private Collection, New York: Sotheby's, New York, November 10, 2010, lot 315: Private Collection, New York.
