The Equivalent portfolio is a collaboration between Sol Lewitt and his long time studio assistant Sachiko Cho. The black-and-white photographs by Sachiko Cho depict simple objects and everyday scenes. Sol LeWitt responds to each photogravure with a glossy, color linocut printed on the same sheet. Using brightly colored patterns, he makes direct reference or more oblique allusion to the structure of each photograph The resulting images give rise to analogies, mirror images, and associations of surprising freshness. Out of a vibrant contrast of techniques, chromatic treatment, and motifs emerges a harmonious dialogue between the two pictures.
Sol LeWitt (1928-2007) is regarded as a founder of Conceptual Art and Minimalism movements in the 1960s. He was prolific in a wide range of media including drawing, printmaking, photography and painted but was most well known for is wall drawings and sculptures. Sachiko Cho was LeWitt’s assistant and protege for many years and installed his wall works around the world.
LeWitt has been the subject of hundreds of solo exhibitions in museums and galleries around the world since 1965 including retrospectives at the Museum of Modern Art, New York; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; and the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York.
