Sol LeWitt "Forms Derived from a Cube"
The Pace Gallery (32 E 57th St)
This event has ended.
An exhibition of Sol LeWitt’s wall drawings, gouaches and structures based on his transformations of the original cubic form. This exhibition features four wall drawings of forms derived from the cube from the 420 series (first drawn in November 1984); two wall drawings rendered in primary colors and grey from the 412 series (first drawn in March 1984); wall drawing 540—a floating cube (first drawn in September 1987); and two wall drawings from the 606 series with exuberantly colored backgrounds (first drawn in May 1989). Three structures of forms derived from the cube made out of wood and painted white, all from 1983 and measuring 31.5 x 31.5 x 31.5 in., will also be on view. In addition, the exhibition will highlight LeWitt’s investigations of the form and structure of the cube in gouache, a medium that he began working with in 1981. The medium took LeWitt’s application and approach to color in a new direction by enabling him to overlay basic washes of red, yellow, blue, and black, achieving a wide variety of colors.
