The artwork, titled “Wavy Lines with Black Border,” was created by Sol LeWitt in 1997. Executed using the mediums of aquatint and etching, it belongs to the Minimalism art movement. This abstract piece measures 42.5 by 52.3 centimeters, exemplifying LeWitt’s ingenuity in line work and composition.
The artwork is characterized by a series of undulating, multicolored lines, each meticulously arranged to create a harmonious yet dynamic visual flow. These lines, composed of various hues, weave through the artwork, intersecting and curving in an intricate dance. The entire composition is encased within a solid black border, framing the vibrant interplay of lines and enhancing their vividness. This border serves to contain the motion within the artwork, providing a stark contrast that emphasizes the movement and fluidity within. The confluence of colors and the meticulous precision of the lines reflect the minimalist ethos, evoking a sense of simplicity and complexity simultaneously.
