Sol Lewitt at MASS MoCA

The Sol Lewitt wall drawing retrospective is a massive installation of 1005 wall drawings which span a large exhibition of spaces on 3 floors of MASS MoCA. One of the interesting aspects of owning a Sol Lewitt wall drawing is that you actually buy the plans for the drawing and then you have someone, perhaps someone form Sol Lewitt's studio, or an art student actually put the art on your wall. This gives you the opportunity to move it to a new location (provided you paint over the exisiting image). The instructions are part of what you buy and the installation at MASS MoCA had some nice works where you could see how Lewitt specified the different shapes in the piece, the different combinations that are used in the piece and then a grid for how the combinations of shapes are used.
