The work was originally acquired by Pedrini, a respected Genoese theorist, art critic and collector, directly by Sol Lewitt, during the artist's stay in Italy;

The Pedrini Collection: Enrico Pedrini, strongly influenced by epistemology, quantum physics, and chaos theory, viewed art through a scientific-conceptual lens. This vision led him to study and collect pioneers of Minimalism and American Conceptualism, among whom Sol Lewitt himself stood out, together with artists such as Donald Judd, Carl Andre, Dan Graham and Joseph Kosuth.
The presence of Lewitt's works in Pedrini's collection is historically linked to crucial avant-garde hubs in Italy, such as the historic Galleria La Bertesca in Genoa, which was among the first to introduce and promote these overseas currents throughout the country;

Lewitt was fascinated by pure, basic geometric structures: the line, the circle, the square, and, above all, the cube.
The cube is considered by Lewitt to be its basic grammatical form: a neutral structure, devoid of narrative intentions or emotional charges.
He explored this shape in every possible variant (filled cubes, open cubes, cube sections, three-dimensional grids in aluminum or white lacquered wood);
