拍品专文

“The most interesting characteristic of the cube is that it is relatively uninteresting. Compared to any other three-dimensional form, the cube lacks any aggressive force, implies no motion, and is least emotive. Therefore it is the best form to use as a basic unit for any more elaborate function, the grammatical device from which the work may proceed. Because it is standard and universally recognized, no intention is required of the viewer. It is immediately understood that the cube represents the cube, a geometric figure that is uncontestably itself. The use of the cube obviates the necessity of inventing another form and reserves its use for invention." Sol LeWitt (S. LeWitt quoted in "The Cube,” reprinted from Art in America, New York, Summer 1966, reproduced in Sol LeWitt, The Museum of Modern Art, New York, 1978, p. 172).
