In 1976, he co-founded Printed Matter, Inc. an organization dedicated to the dissemination of conceptual art. In his lithograph projects, he sends written instructions to students to produce the works, demonstrating that the artist&#8217;s idea takes precedence over his own execution. This decentralized approach reveals his desire to share creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/monumental-valois.com\/oeuvre-monumentale\/wall-drawing-de-sol-lewitt-immersion-geometrique\/\">Discover the work<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-bottom is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-34-px-font-size\">A lasting influence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A pioneer of collaboration, he co-founded Printed Matter, Inc. in 1976, dedicated to conceptual art.
