This wood and paint structure by Sol LeWitt from 1985 is currently on view at the Hirshhorn in Washington, DC. This artwork is a typical example of LeWitt’s use of simple basic units that can be associated in multiple ways. Here, he stacked up empty white cubes symmetrically to create a sort of truncated pyramid. What I find aesthetically pleasing in this piece is how multidimensional and complex it is although it is based on something really quite straightforward.

This painting by Agnes Martin from 2001 belongs to a private collector, but until October 11 you can see it at the Tate Modern gallery in London. I personally can’t wait until I go see it for myself so I can tell you more about this incredible artist and hopefully share some more discoveries with you.
