Information

LeWitt didn't paint. He wrote instructions. Other people drew them. "The idea becomes a machine that makes the art."

I first discovered his work at SFMOMA and fell in love at Dia Beacon.

This site tries to render his wall drawings from those original texts. Pick a drawing, change the instructions, get a different variation. 191 of 1,352 so far.

Drawings marked with an asterisk are approximations based on partial instructions or images.
