Sol LeWitt is widely regarded as a defining figure of late twentieth-century American art, known for positioning ideas as the foundation of artistic practice. This exhibition, the first major public museum survey of his work in Japan, presents wall drawings, structures, works on paper, and artist’s books that demonstrate how plans, systems, and instructions shape form.
At the center of the exhibition is LeWitt’s concept of open structure, visible in modular cube works and wall drawings executed by others. By exposing frameworks, allowing variation, and accepting change over time, his work challenges fixed notions of authorship, permanence, and originality. Together, the works reflect a practice grounded in shared ideas and continual reinterpretation.
