Position On The Art Market
Sol LeWitt has been represented by the Paula Cooper Gallery in New York, Donald Young Gallery in Chicago, Lisson Gallery in London, and Yvon Lambert Gallery in Paris. The Pace Gallery was appointed the International Representative of the LeWitt Estate in November 2007, and continues to represent the Estate today.
To date, LeWitt's most highly valued works at auction have all been three-dimensionall structures, the earliest of which date to 1965. His auction record of $520,000 was set in 2006 by his three-dimensional structure Wall Floor Piece #1 (1976) at Christie's, New York.
