Sol LeWitt — Asymmetrical Pyramid
Sol LeWitt

Asymmetrical Pyramid

1987

A bold geometric composition rendered in gouache on paper, this work by Sol LeWitt presents an asymmetrical pyramid form constructed through the artist's signature use of flat, vivid color planes. True to LeWitt's conceptual practice, the piece explores the tension between mathematical precision and visual imbalance, inviting the viewer to consider structure and deviation simultaneously. The rich, matte quality of the gouache reinforces the work's graphic clarity, emphasizing form and color over texture or gestural mark-making.
