Artist Sol Lewitt Dies

One of Jay's favorite artists, Sol Lewitt, died this week. Lewitt was a minimalist and a conceptualist, believing that the idea of the artwork was more important than the finished result. He was known to sometimes paint over his wall art, and he created detailed instructions on how to replicate other pieces so that fans could make their own versions. Here are some of his pieces. I've never been a huge fan, but I do like the third piece below, which reminds me a little of Jay's work.
