A Square of Florence without a Trapezoid 1978

"A Square of Florence without a Trapezoid" (1978) is a photo-based work by American conceptual artist Sol LeWitt. The work, which measures 29.9 x 29.9 cm, features a black and white aerial photograph of the city of Florence, Italy. A large white trapezoid, representing a missing section of the cityscape, has been cut out of the image. LeWitt's use of geometric shapes and minimalist aesthetics is characteristic of his work, and the absence of the trapezoid forces the viewer to consider the negative space and how it affects the overall composition.
