EXPLORING ART

Episode 136 | The Carnegie Institute: Fraud or Not?


Listen Later

In today’s podcast episode, Jolyn and Kristin will be discussing Sol LeWitt’s drawing at the Carnegie Institute in Pittsburgh. The museum wants to “move” this painting, but what happens when moving a painting means creating a whole new piece of artwork? Would redrawing the painting still be considered Sol LeWitt's art even after it's "relocated"? Sol LeWitt was an American conceptual artist linked to various movements including conceptualism and minimalism. He is known for his contribution to the philosophy of conceptual art. Part of his contribution was his somewhat controversial way of creating and distributing his art. Sol LeWitt had a unique way of sharing his art, known for providing clear instructions to artist technicians to create and execute his wall drawings following his original blueprint. Does who draws the art matter as much as what is drawn? Does moving the art change the way the art is viewed? Does it change the value of the work? Is it fraud or not? Find out in this episode as Kristin and Jolyn dive in to discuss their perspectives on this topic.
