Description: Attributed to Sol LeWitt (American, Born in Hartford, CT, 1928–2007)No title, 1956Oil paint on MasoniteDimension: 24 x 24 in. Notes: Signed in graphite on verso “LEWITT, 1956,” which is visible on back of framing construct. Sol LeWitt consistently signed his signature in graphite.Condition: Fair. Overall presentation is strong. The impasto paint surface was cleaned by a conservator using cotton swabs and distilled water. There was no treatment to the distressed Masonite edges or existing losses to the Masonite. They are presented as is and the work is fitted within an open-face box frame with a complementary wood color and grain to highlight the work and also slightly lessen the appearance of some losses to the Masonite edges.Framing orientation. The frame is designed to be able to hang in two ways.Related works: There is at least one black-and-white reproduction of an abstract expressionist work by LeWitt in a monograph of his work.Provenance: At the beginning of his career, the artist is known to have traded artwork for art supplies. This work was discovered at an independent art supply shop in Manhattan. I have the receipts for inspection upon request. Regardless of its authorship, the work is an interesting abstract painting from the period.
