It includes monumental wall drawings in India ink and Styrofoam. Diverging from his early austere minimalist aesthetic, the vigorous broad stripes of Wall Drawing #368 (1982) create a seductive, vibrating expanse.
It has been also presented “Sol LeWitt/Liz Deschenes” an exhibition organized in collaboration with Olivier Renaud-Clément. The show will feature new work by Liz Deschenes in dialogue with a selection of serialized photographic works by LeWitt – including Autobiography (1980), Cut Maps (1976), A sphere lit from the top, four sides, and all their combinations (2004) and Cube (1997).
The gallery will exhibit a Sol LeWitt structure from 1990, entitled 12 x 12 x 1 TO 2 x 2 x 6. His open-cube structures took on intensified densely layered optical play that grew into elaborate architectural constructions.
