Combining elements of his two earlier book works, Sol LeWitt imagines every possible permutation created by combining a grid of vertical, horizontal and diagonal straight lines in both colour and black and white. Beginning with a contents page which introduces LeWitts artistic algorithm, the book proceeds to build shimmering fields of colour through the overlaying of these grids on top of one another, building to a crescendo which appears chaotic while in reality being rigidly organised.
