Sol LeWitt is a prime example of the minimalist movement and the conceptual movement. His earlier works are the essence of minimalism, with the cubes and the raw structures and the use of industrial materials. He also focused on the simple form of his minimalist sculptures, and that the geometry created the work. He also did not focus on authorship because for many of his works he provided his assistants or the museum with a set of instructions that were vague and were open to interpretation. This was on purpose because LeWitt focused on that the idea was the work, and the person that executes the work does that matter. With many of his wall drawings, LeWitt had a set of assistants that installed the wall drawing in the museum. The assistants had a vague set of instructions that were open to interpretation, this followed LeWitt’s original belief of eliminating authorship. This follows characteristics of minimalism. To LeWitt, it did not matter that the wall drawing could be painted over by the museum, but that the idea inside his mind could be interpreted in so many different ways and it was his original idea that was the work. He believed that there should be no narrative for his work, rather than having a work with a specific message, art could just exist. Meaning in not required in art. This is true to characteristics of conceptual art.
