Untitled
1998
This work presents an open wooden framework structure composed of interconnected rectangular units painted white. The composition creates a three dimensional architectural form that rises and recedes across the picture plane, with varying heights and depths that suggest both solid geometry and spatial complexity. The lattice like construction allows light to pass through the piece, emphasizing its skeletal quality and the negative spaces between its components. The systematic arrangement of repeating grid patterns reflects a conceptual approach to sculpture that privileges structure and mathematical organization over traditional representational forms.

Artists in conversation
Donald Judd
American · b. 1928
Judd created modular, open box structures using industrial materials arranged in precise systematic progressions, directly mirroring LeWitt's white painted wooden framework with its repeating rectangular units and emphasis on negative space between components.
Fred Sandback
American · b. 1943
Sandback constructed skeletal geometric forms that define architectural space through minimal linear elements, sharing this specific work's lattice quality where the void between structural members becomes as visually significant as the material itself.
Erwin Hauer
Austrian · b. 1926
Hauer produced white modular architectural screen structures built from interconnected repeating geometric units that create complex three dimensional forms through systematic repetition, closely echoing this work's white painted open grid construction and its interplay of solid geometry with light passing through negative space.
