Sol LeWitt (2012)

Sol LeWitt plot

Sol LeWitt (1928-2007) was one of the most important post-war American artists and is considered the founder of Minimal Art and Conceptual Art. He was camera shy, refused awards, did not like to talk about his work and rarely gave interviews. LeWitt believed that the idea for the artwork was more important than its execution. In contrast to many other countries, the work and ideas of LeWitt were greatly appreciated in the Netherlands. For example, in 1968 the Gemeentemuseum in The Hague organized the first Minimal Art exhibition in Europe. The reason for this close connection to LeWitt's conceptual work is one of the questions the film aims to answer. In search of the answer, we gain insight into LeWitt's work, the ideas behind it and their meaning. People in the Netherlands who have known LeWitt, such as his former assistants, fellow artists, friends, museum directors, curators and collectors, tell about the person LeWitt. They form the mirror in which something of the deceased artist can be seen: good memories, humor, melancholy, naughtiness, genius and thus provide more clarity about the how and why of the mutual bond between LeWitt and the Netherlands.
