Wall Drawing # 815

White threads, nails, black fabric.

Installation.

Throughout his creative career, Sol LeWitt experimented with various areas of art, including painting, sculpture and performance. This conceptual work is an installation intended for placement on a wall. Black cloth is hung on the wall, and thirty nails are hammered into it in random order. A white thread is tied to each nail, connecting them and thus creating an interesting abstract composition. The basis for this work was LeWitt’s earlier wall painting called “Wall Drawing # 51”, which was made in the form of thin blue lines painted on a wall on a white background, extending to the entire room.
