LeWitts

LeWitt is a surname most prominently associated with Sol LeWitt (1928–2007), an American artist who was a major figure in conceptual art and minimalism.

LeWitt's work spanned wall drawings, sculpture, and installation, with a practice centered on ideas, systems, and reproducible instructions rather than handcrafted uniqueness.

In his wall drawings, LeWitt provided precise diagrams and textual instructions that were executed by assistants, allowing the idea to become the artwork itself.

His text-based approach helped define conceptual art and influenced later generations of artists across disciplines.

Key writings include Paragraphs on Conceptual Art (1967), which argued that the idea behind the work takes precedence over its physical realization. LeWitt's works are held in major museums and public collections worldwide, and his influence extends into architecture and design contexts.

In formal references, the name is LeWitt; the plural form LeWitts may appear in informal usage to refer to people bearing the surname.
