To him, ideas were what counted.
"Conceptual art is not necessarily logical," he wrote in an article in Artforum magazine in 1967. "The ideas need not be complex. Most ideas that are successful are ludicrously simple. Successful ideas generally have the appearance of simplicity because they seem inevitable."
To the extent that LeWitt's work existed in another person's mind, he regarded it as collaborative.
LeWitt, 78, died in New York on Sunday from complications of cancer.
