Sol LeWitt was born 1928 in Hartford, Connecticut, and worked in New York until his death in 2007. He was a member of the Minimalist Movement and assisted in formulating the idea of conceptual art. After studying art, he worked as a graphic designer and quickly began to focus on the constructivism of the Bauhaus. LeWitt continually experimented with architectural space structures reducing his ideas and images to a minimum. What remained, were theoretical works, often built on a grid pattern and grid structures - as seen in this work. It shows what LeWitt stands for as an artist: "Conceptual" art. It aims to intellectually attract and demonstrate the different steps and ideas (the concept). In contrast to that stands the "Perceptual art" that focuses purely on tie visual aspects.
