Sol Lewitt : Folds and Rips

Sol Lewitt, Dieter Schwarz

In 1969, Sol Lewitt started to regularly produce what he called 'folds', which were first conceived as gifts to friends. In 1971, he added the 'rips', drawings made of ripped paper. LeWitt went from ripping papers of various sizes and colours in different ways to working with city maps and airview photos of Florence, Manhattan and Chicago. The book comprehensively presents the 'folds' and 'rips' for the first time.
