9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 Half Off 1977

This open cube structure was made by Sol LeWitt, who was interested in how simple forms can create complex patterns and shadows. Each cube is a basic unit, but when stacked together, they make you think about things like volume and gravity. There's something so direct about the way the cubes are arranged. It’s like he’s saying, "Here it is, no tricks." I love how the shadows cast by the structure become an integral part of the piece, creating a whole other layer of geometric shapes. The interplay between the solid cubes and their ephemeral shadows reminds me that art isn't just about physical objects, but about how we perceive and experience them. It’s a conversation between the real and the implied, the seen and the unseen. LeWitt’s work always makes me think of Donald Judd, but Judd used closed forms while LeWitt created frameworks for further exploration.
