About The Work
Sol LeWitt's infamous large-scale "wall drawings" destabilized and expanded the conventional definition of authorship. Many of his works were created as the result of elaborate and detailed instructions rather than his own hand or labor. Furthermore these classic "wall drawings" were often temporary - only lasting the duration of an exhibition.
This particular work is a paradigm of LeWitt's work from the 1990s. Frequently working with aquatint, he embraced a palette of rich autumnal colors in hard-edge edge compositions. He continued to be fascinated by shapes, stripes, grids, and their relationship to color.
In 1998, works from this rich collection were transformed into permanent wall drawings and adorned throughout the Royal Theatre in Hague, Nederlands.
