Sol Lewitt: Works of the 60s and 70s

November 1, 1997 - January 3, 1998

This exhibition at Ubu Gallery featured early working drawings, finished drawings, photographs and structures by Sol LeWitt. The works in this exhibition ranged from “Objectivity,” a painted canvas wall structure from 1962, to a plotted and cut-out photograph of an aerial view of Manhattan from 1979. As LeWitt has written, “The idea itself, even if not made visual, is as much a work of art as any finished product.” Also included in the exhibition was a four-part, serial wall drawing from 1969 executed in color for the first time.

Founded in 1994, Ubu Gallery has presented almost 100 exhibitions of 20th Century avant-garde art, with an emphasis on the inter-war period of the 1920s-1930s, particularly the Dada, Surrealist, and Constructivist movements. Ubu exhibits paintings, drawings, photography, sculpture, and ephemera (books, posters, graphic design, etc.) and, wherever possible, highlights the interrelationships among these art forms.

Ubu Gallery is a well-known presence on the international cultural scene and enjoys a worldwide reputation for its serious explorations of areas covered by few other galleries, including acclaimed survey exhibitions of Polish, Romanian and Czech avant-garde art. Ubu’s focus on the avant-garde, particularly on historically important artists and movements that have not received appropriate attention, has earned the gallery frequent reviews in press throughout the world focused on the visual arts. Ubu participates in the most important Parisian art fair, FIAC, held annually in the Grand Palais (2010-2016), and has participated significantly in Art Basel (2003–2011) and the encyclopedic Frieze Masters fair (2012–2015) showcasing the best of antiquities to modern art, in Regent's Park in London.
