What is the significance of A Piece of Manhattan in Sol LeWitt’s career?
This piece represents LeWitt's fascination with systems and grids. By using Manhattan maps, he bridged the gap between conceptual geometry and the physical reality of the urban environment.
Why did Sol LeWitt choose maps for this specific series?
LeWitt used maps as a 'found' system. By manipulating them, he focused the viewer’s attention on the underlying structure of the city rather than its traditional representational beauty.
