“Without doubt or ambivalence Sol LeWitt set out on an intuitive journey that had no end. […] The result of this nonhierarchical way of thinking and being was a life work that grew organically like a plant that permutated and mutated, endlessly growing and changing with nothing to prove, existence being the proof.”—#PatSteir

Like many artists in the collection,  Pat Steir befriended and learned from many influential Conceptual and Minimalist artists of the day such as Sol LeWitt who she met in 1968. Steir is best-recognized for dripped, splashed and poured “waterfall” paintings which she first started in the late 1980s. Steir is also profoundly influenced by Chinese painting traditions and techniques, especially the inky marks of the 8th and 9th century Yi-pin “ink-splashing” painters. Although they never worked together, Steir was deeply influenced by Sol Lewitt along with Agnes Martin and John Cage. 
On view now “Drawing Dialogues: Selections from the Sol LeWitt Collection” is an exhibition featuring over 100 works by more than 60 artists from the renowned artist’s extraordinary collection.
