Series 1-2-3: 47 3-Part Variations on Three Different Kinds of Cubes 1968

"Series 1-2-3: 47 3-Part Variations on Three Different Kinds of Cubes" is a 1968 sculpture by Sol LeWitt that exemplifies the artist's minimalist approach to art. This piece is composed of seven white, cube-shaped structures with varying arrangements of cut-out squares. Each of these cubes is a variation on a specific form, demonstrating LeWitt's interest in exploring the relationship between form and space through minimal alterations to a basic geometric shape. The simplicity and repetition of the structures invite viewers to contemplate the concept of variation within a limited framework. LeWitt's work often focused on creating a system or set of instructions rather than directly creating the artwork itself, allowing for the possibility of variations and interpretations by others. The sculpture is a testament to the artist's dedication to a reductive approach to visual language and a clear articulation of geometric forms.
