This generously illustrated volume is the first to take a comprehensive look at LeWitt's significant yet underexplored printmaking practice. Drawing together new archival research, interviews, and careful material and visual analyses, David S. Areford brilliantly situates LeWitt's prints within the broader context of his serial-, system-, and rule-based approach to artmaking. The specific processes of print media, Areford argues, were perfectly suited for LeWitt's particular brand of conceptual art, in which the \"idea becomes the machine that makes the art.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e With over 400 illustrations, many never before published, this study offers a more complete picture of LeWitt's oeuvre--and the essential place printmaking holds in it. The result will deepen the understanding not only of the variety of LeWitt's output but of the genealogy of his distinct geometric and linear formal language. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Published in association with the Williams College Museum of Art and New Britain Museum of American Art \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExhibition Schedule: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eNew Britain Museum of American Art\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (September 18, 2021-January 9, 2022) \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eWilliams College Museum of Art\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (February 18-June 12, 2022)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David S.
