The artwork, titled “Nine-Sided Figure,” was created by Sol LeWitt in 1989 and belongs to the Minimalism art movement. It is an abstract piece that exemplifies LeWitt’s approach to minimalist design and geometric precision.
In “Nine-Sided Figure,” a nine-sided polygon is centrally positioned against a contrasting background. The figure is depicted in bold hues with a vivid yellow polygon outlined by a softer green, set atop a dark backdrop. The simplicity and clarity of the geometric form is emphasized, creating a visual impact that is characteristic of Minimalist abstraction. The artwork’s restrained color palette and precise lines prompt viewers to consider the delicate interplay between form and color, inviting contemplation of the fundamental elements of visual art.
