Rare screen print from the well-known series 'Five Geometric Figures in Five Colors' by Sol LeWitt.
Signed in the lower right corner.
This screen print is not numbered because each screen print is unique ,
as described in Sol LeWitt Prints Catalogue raisonné:
ref. 1986.06.
There were 32 "sets" made, each containing 25 prints. Within each of those sets of 25, all five colors were used, and all five shapes were used, as per the title of the piece. All 32 "sets" were the same, as each set of 25 had all five shapes in all five colors (25 combinations). However, these "sets" of 25 were not meant to be kept together, but were split up by the artist and publisher into nearly all unique groups of five, making a total of 160 unique sets of five. 150 of the sets are "multi-colored" (with some sets having more than one shape in the same color).
None of these sets are numbered, as each set is unique.
The work is professionally and beautifully framed - please see detailed photos -

He is the master of Minimal Art, the reduction of art to its essence under the motto 'the idea becomes a machine that makes art'.
