| definition | An artistic method in which a body of work is developed through systematic variation of parameters across a sequence of related pieces, generating meaning through accumulation and difference. |
| editorial note | Distinct from Serial Development in that variation does not imply directional progression or refinement. The series generates meaning laterally — through accumulation of difference within an established visual language — rather than through improvement toward a goal. See also: Serial Development. |

| label | Serial variation |
| scope note | Applies to practices where individual works function both independently and as elements within a larger investigative sequence, as in Judd, LeWitt, or Monet's series paintings. |
