LeWitt Retrospective Opening


Sol LeWitt American minimalist conceptual artist 1928-2007
Something really great is happening in New England Sunday. Sol LeWitt: A Wall Drawing Retrospective, a collaboration between the Yale University Art Gallery, Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (Mass MoCa) , and the Williams College Museum of Art. opens Sunday, November 16, , at MASS MoCA in North Adams, Massachusetts. The retrospective is housed in a three-story 27,000 square foot historic mill building. The exhibition will consist of more than 100 works –-nearly one acre of wall surface -- that LeWitt created over 40 years. Sol LeWitt was born in Hartford and later lived in New York City.

The opening at noon is free and about a two hour drive from the Hartford area. Of course, there is no hurry. The exhibit will be on view for 25 years!
