Several of LeWitt’s works are on view at the Yale University Art Gallery, 1111 Chapel Street, New Haven. There are two wall drawings in the main lobby, a third viewable from the lobby, and a colorful work on the corridor wall leading to the auditorium. There also is one on permanent view on the third floor near the contemporary art galleries. His work is also on view around campus, including at the School of Management and the law school. The gallery also is home to the Sol LeWitt Wall Drawing Archive. John Hogan, the installation director and archivist for LeWitt’s drawings at Yale, also recommends as a resource The Sol LeWitt Wall Drawings Catalogue Raisonné recently digitally published by Artifex press (www.artifexpress.com).

LeWitt’s wall drawings are the subject of a major retrospective at MASSMoCA that takes up nearly an acre over three stories of a restored mill building. The exhibit includes 105 large-scale wall drawings of the type that helped create his international reputation. Mass MOCA is at 1040 MassMoCA Way, North Adams, Massachusetts. More information is available at massmoca.org.

LeWitt also helped design Congregation Beth Shalom Rodfe Zedek (CBSRZ) in Chester, where LeWitt was a member of the congregation.
