"Clarity, beauty, playfulness. Simplicity, logic, openness. The words which come to mind in beginning to describe the work of Sol Lewitt resonate with essential aesthetic and intellectual values. His works are straightforward and legible. Yet, upon closer observation and consideration, even those that initially appear direct and obvious reveal complex subtlety in decision making. Intellectual substance is paired with visual delight, both of which seep, sometimes immediately, but often slowly, into one's consciousness." (Gary Garrels in Exhibition Catalogue, San Francisco, Museum of Modern Art; and travelling, Sol Lewitt: A Retrospective, 2000-01, p. 23)
