rif. 827712 black & white illus. 24 pp. Very tall 8vo 169 x 356 mm. orig. printed wrappers some sunning staple-bound. Zurich: Bruno Bischofberger 1969. LeWitt’s second “autonomous” artist’s book – i.e. not connected to an exhibition or part of another publication. This is one of 1000 copies printed all of which were numbered ours is no. 924 there were also 500 copies signed by LeWitt. 49 three-part variations… was published by the Zurich gallerist Bruno Bischofberger with whom LeWitt had his first solo presentation in February-March 1968. Bischofberger along with Konrad Fischer and Heiner Friedrich was one of the earliest European gallerists to engage and collaborate with LeWitt and other Conceptual artists. “Following Serial Project #1 ‘The Xerox Book’ and Set II A I-24 Sol LeWitt’s fourth book is 49 Three-Part Variations… which was published in 1969 and is large and oblong in shape its proportions being two squares wide by one square high. This doubling of the square format is approximately repeated with other books such as Schematic Drawings for Muybridge II 1964 of 1970 Open Geometric Structures… of 1979 and All Four Part Combinations of Six Geometric Figures of 1980. In each case the horizontal format is dictated by the content. 49 Three-Part Variations… is the second of LeWitt’s autonomous artist's books and again is not an exhibition catalogue but more a catalogue of forms.”–Clive Phillpot “Sol LeWitt’s Books: Complete & Incomplete” in Booktrek: Selected Essays on Artists’ Books 1972-2010 2013 p. 261.

rif. 811016 black & white plates. 32 pp. Square 4to 200 x 200 mm. orig. illustrated semi-stiff wrappers spine sunned & a trifle stained staple-bound. London: Studio International 1969. One of LeWitt’s earliest artist’s books remarkably well-preserved. This is the artist’s fifth book but the third standalone publication not originating from an exhibition or periodical. It is now scarce on the market. “The front cover of Four Basic Kinds of Straight Lines is an exemplary statement of the compositional elements: vertical lines horizontal lines and the two sets of diagonal lines. The proportions are immaculate. The back cover in turn states the narrative: one square with lines in one direction a second with two kinds of lines overlaid a third with three kinds and the fourth with all kinds superimposed; it too is superbly clear and perfectly designed… “The first page of the book after the cover reveals a grid of 16 squares and functions rather like a contents page. Fifteen of the squares declare the elements of the work: the four basic kinds of lines the six combinations of two kinds of line the four combinations of three lines and the single square with all four lines. The 16th square contains the title of the work. This is comparable to a magician showing their audience that they have nothing up their sleeve before they begin their act. In LeWitt’s case he proceeds from this introductory page to show us exactly what was prefigured on the contents page except that each of the 15 components is now blown up and bled off one to a page. But while there is therefore no surprise there is magic. This magic lies in the completeness of the scenario its simplicity and clarity its capacity for re-enactment the beauty of its design and execution and the perfect physical qualities of the book…This book like much of LeWitt’s art has a stability also a rightness. Nothing can be or needs to be taken away; it is a clear and beautiful expression of his idea.”–Clive Phillpot “Sol LeWitt’s Books: Complete & Incomplete” in Booktrek: Selected Essays on Artists’ Books 1972-2010 2013 pp. 261-62.
