Episode 1047 | Can Art Be Recreated? Sol Lewitt and the Power of the idea

What if an artwork could be erased and redrawn and still be the same piece? In this episode of
Exploring Art Podcast, we dive into the mind-bending world of conceptual artist Sol LeWitt,
whose famous wall drawings challenge everything we think we know about authorship,
originality, and creativity. Join hosts Saim and Anaiya as they explore LeWitt’s radical belief that the idea is the
artwork—not the object on the wall. Together, they unpack a real-life case study from the
Carnegie Museum, debate the value of instruction-based art, and ask: Can a copy ever be considered the real thing? Whether you're an art lover or a curious newcomer, this episode will leave you questioning where the art truly lives: in the hand, the mind, or somewhere in between.
