Lewitt was born in Hartford, Connecticut, in 1928, and attended
Syracuse University. After serving in the Korean War as a graphic
artist, he moved, in 1953, to New York, where he worked as a draftsman
for the architect I. M. Pei. LeWitt had his first solo exhibition
at the Daniels Gallery, New York, in 1965, and the following year
Dwan Gallery, New York, mounted the first in a series of solo exhibitions.
He participated, during the late 1960s and early 1970s, in several
significant group exhibitions of Minimalist and Conceptual art, including
"Primary Structures," at the Jewish Museum, New York, in
1966, and "When Attitude Becomes Form," at the Kunsthalle
Bern, Switzerland, in 1969. His renowned text "Paragraphs on
Conceptual Art" was published in 1967. LeWitt's work was included
in Documentas 6 (1977) and 7 (1982) in Kassel, as well as the 1987
Skulptur Projekte in Münster and the 1989 Istanbul Biennial.
Major retrospectives of his works were organized by the Museum of
Modern Art, New York, in 1978, and the San Francisco Museum of Modern
Art, in 2000. |
