In spring 2017, Rice Gallery will come full circle by reinstalling one of its earliest installations, Sol LeWitt's "Glossy and Flat Black Squares" (Wall Drawing #813), 1997 as its closing exhibition. LeWitt (1928-2007), a leading figure in Minimalism and pioneer of Conceptual art, created the majestic work in response to Rice Gallery's architectural space. Like a musical score that exists on paper until it is played, LeWitt's Wall Drawing exists as a set of written instructions and can be re-created.
Following the opening reception, the exhibit will be on display through May 14.
