The conceptual artist Sol LeWitt died today (2007 April 09). He was born 1928 Sept 09 in Hartford, Connecticut. He died of cancer at the age of seventy-eight. He was a pretty great artist who influenced many and will be missed.
When an artist uses a conceptual form of art, it means that all of the planning and decisions are made beforehand and the execution is a perfunctory affair. The idea becomes a machine that makes the art.
