OBJECT DESCRIPTION
Sol LeWitt’s Coffee table is one of the most historically significant examples of artist-designed furniture of the 20th century and relates both conceptually and visually to the artist’s body of work.
The history of Coffee table began in 1965 when LeWitt made his very first table by painting a white-lined grid on a painted grey, wooden top. Fifteen years later for a multiples exhibition at Marion Goodman Gallery, and as a “follow-up” to the 1965 example, LeWitt made the white-painted poplar Coffee table with an open grid pattern and a 3/8" glass top. The black walnut version was introduced soon thereafter.
Artware Editions works directly with The Estate of Sol LeWitt and is pleased to offer both variations of this table fabricated by the same exceptional craftsperson who worked with the artist during his celebrated lifetime.
Coffee table is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity issued by the artist’s estate. All tables are considered a custom order and fabricated upon receipt of payment. Please allow 6 – 8 weeks for the white table, and 8 – 10 weeks for the black walnut.

In the early 1980s, Sol LeWitt and his family bought a rustic farmhouse in Spoleto, Italy. While in Rome looking for new dishes, he and his wife, Carol, discovered that the maiolica pottery they so admired was made locally, almost in their backyard, in Deruta, Italy. The craftspeople in Deruta were continuing the more than 600 year old tradition of creating maiolica, a technique of applying a glossy base glaze whitened with tin oxide onto fired clay pottery. Vivid, hand-painted colors are then added and the pieces are fired again.
LeWitt designed his own dinnerware in Deruta and these same pieces are now available through Artware Editions in the full range of colors the artist intended. Each piece is made by hand by the same artisans who for generations have kept this proud and classic Italian tradition alive. This dinnerware is lead-free and dishwasher safe.
If we do not already have it in stock the fabrication time is approximately 12 weeks.
