You see a square of white paper with a ragged black hole torn right in the center. LeWitt didn’t paint or draw this—he just ripped the paper. The hole isn’t random; it’s the only mark, and it’s perfectly centered. That’s the whole work. It’s quiet but deliberate, like a pause in a conversation. If this makes you curious about art that’s more about ideas than brushstrokes, look up Sol LeWitt.
