Sol LeWitt Painted Over at SFMOMA

The SFMOMA’s two massive Sol LeWitt atrium wall drawings – the last works still up from his retrospective in 2000 – are being painted over to make room for an upcoming Martin Puryear installation.

It doesn’t sadden me that they’re no longer on view. Because the instruction set is the kernel of the work and can lead to infinite authentic resurrections, the piece is simply in one less place. What’s more poignant to me is that after eight years the exhibition that changed the course of my personal, artistic, and professional life has finally concluded.

Sol LeWitt at Mass MoCA

Mass MoCA has launched a minisite in advance of Sol LeWitt’s 25 year wall drawing retrospective opening there in November.  Don’t look too hard or it will give away the surprise!

More Sol LeWitts In Process

There’s a good set of photographs showing the installation progress of a number of Sol LeWitt’s currently in process at MassMOCA.  Very encouraging, all of this.  I can’t wait for the opening.
