Sol LeWitt dedicated his wall drawing to Josef Albers, whose color theory and practice was a significant influence on his own development. Even if LeWitt and Albers are separated by a fundamentally different understanding of their work, what is valid for both artists is their avoidance of any emphatic idea of authorship, their surmounting of any hierarchical model of composition and the way they, in general, objectify the work concept in which a single piece is always part of a long term serial study.
