A Circle of Manhattan without a Rectangle 1978

"A Circle of Manhattan without a Rectangle" is a 1978 work by Sol LeWitt, a prominent American conceptual artist known for his geometric forms and explorations of space. This black and white photograph features an aerial view of Manhattan, New York City, presented in a circular shape with a rectangular cutout, highlighting the interplay between geometric shapes and urban landscapes. The piece reflects LeWitt’s fascination with conceptual art, where the idea behind the artwork takes precedence over the physical object. This work is a compelling example of minimalist art and is a testament to LeWitt’s innovative approach to photography.
