Episode 2009 | Owning ideas: Sol LeWitt and the questions of ownership.

When a piece of art is an idea rather than an object, what does it mean to "own" it? In this episode, we explore the fascinating case of Sol LeWitt's wall drawings and consider if a recreated drawing in a different location still qualifies as belonging to the Carnegie Institute. We explore the blurred lines between originality, authenticity, and intellectual property in conceptual art, examining questions such as who actually owns a piece that anybody can create but only a select few can approve, and what constitutes a fake. This episode will test your understanding of what art actually is, regardless of whether you're an art student, museum lover, or simply interested in the idea of ownership.
