Nine-Sided Figure 1989

"Nine-Sided Figure," created in 1989, is a minimalist artwork by Sol LeWitt. The piece features a single, yellow nonagon (nine-sided figure) against a dark blue background. The nonagon is outlined with a thin, green line, adding another layer of geometric simplicity to the composition. LeWitt was a key figure in the Minimalist movement, emphasizing geometric shapes and a reduction of form. His works are often characterized by their cool objectivity and focus on the formal properties of art. This work is a prime example of LeWitt's approach to minimalist abstraction, showcasing the beauty and power of basic geometric forms.
