LeWitt’s devotion to the cube and its formal possibilities played out across multiple media, from prints and drawings to sculpture and installation. With the total number of permutations fixed at twenty-four, Forms Derived from a Cube plots a relatively limited arc of sequential transformation, not unlike those in Wenzel Jamnitzer’s and Peter Flötner’s sixteenth-century works on view nearby. For LeWitt, cubes and geometric forms represented an alternative system of decision-making that absolved the artist of subjective choices, such that "the idea becomes the machine that makes the art."
