1979404935New York: Harry N. Abrams 1979. A near-fine copy in a like jacket pale stain to cloth on upper panel the jacket with minute wear. Square 4to 8 x 8 inches; 203 x 203 mm. 48 pages. Full-page color offset prints. Original cloth; dust jacket. FIRST EDITION inscribed by Lewitt on the front free endpaper in pencil to "Ann." Uncommon in the cloth-bound issue and especially so when signed. Lewitt conceptually explores: "Circle Square Triangle Rectangle Trapezoid and Parallelogram in Red Yellow and Blue on Red Yellow and Blue." The book is divided into three sections each of which differ by background color. Barbara M. Reise wrote that "LeWitt's colours like his lines and squares are like 'facts': they are inert pre-established accepted and un-emotional man-made constructs which can 'come to life' within a present context but do not necessarily do so. Red yellow blue and black and the white of wall or paper are standard "absolute primaries basic to all pigment colour - that is according to the colour system accepted by an art academic from early 19th-century theorists like Chevreul. Unlike the Newtonian rainbow-spectrum based on light-waves this theoretical structure is more conceptually mathematical and tautological than referential to some exterior and inhuman Nature. LeWitt's use of these colours is as flatly complete physical and self-reflective as the theory itself. Unlike Seurat whose use of the same colour theories was subordinated and interrelated to other interests in proportion theories and seen scene subject-matter LeWitt uses colour as both the subject and the object of his art" in: 'Sol Lewitt Critical Texts' ed.

New York City: Multiples Inc. 1980.<br /> First edition of LeWitt's celebrated book in which he meticulously records with photographs the possessions in his studio and home; this is a superb copy with a signed and dated original drawing inscribed by LeWitt "for Richard Wr- / Sol LeWitt / Las Cruces / Nov. 20 1981" on the recto of the front free endpaper. Nearly every page in this work comprises in a 3 x 3 grid nine photographs taken by LeWitt of his home and studio. It is a fascinating window into the life of this very private artist. In these photographs we encounter his collections of Japanese prints his own artists' books music type samples art ephemera books photographs family heirlooms sculptures etc.<br /> In Esthétique du Livre d'Artiste: Une Introduction à l'art contemporain 2nd ed.: 2012 Anne Moeglin-Delcroix writes p. 275 "In giving a tour methodically exhaustively of all that fills up his studio LeWitt seems to recount his life through the photographs of his family bric-à -brac.Despite the title despite as well the small indiscreet pleasure that one takes in penetrating the universe where an artist whose impersonal structures were all that we knew until now did we know that he listened to Lassus and Bach that he read Beckett and Chandler that he admired Japanese prints and popular imagery the interest is somewhere else as is the presence of Sol LeWitt elsewhere. His presence asserts itself with force because it is entirely active there in the book itself."<br /> A near fine copy enhanced by a classic "Lines in Four Directions" drawing executed and signed by LeWitt for the recipient; faint sunning to the edges of the dust-jacket and very minor wear to the corners.
