A Square of Florence without a Trapezoid

1978

Sol LeWitt

Associated Names

Sol LeWitt

Artist, American, 1928 - 2007

There is a trapezoidal white shape in the center of the image, set against a detailed background of intersecting lines and grids. The background depicts a complex network of streets and blocks, resembling an aerial map of a city. The straight and angular lines of the buildings and roads form structures such as blocks, crossroads, and bridges around the central void created by the trapezoid.
