Sol LeWitt's First Naples Exhibition at Alfonso Artiaco Gallery
The Alfonso Artiaco Gallery in Naples is hosting a comprehensive exhibition of Sol LeWitt's work, marking the artist's first appearance in the gallery since 1989. The show spans nearly forty years of LeWitt's career, featuring drawings, photographs, and wall drawings that explore his core principles of lines, forms, and volumes. The drawings demonstrate LeWitt's investigation of line and stroke juxtaposition, while photographic works highlight the immersive power of architectural space. The exhibition includes wall drawings executed by Nicolai Angelov and Andrew Colbert from the LeWitt studio, alternating between ink and pencil. A centerpiece is Wall Drawing #1146 B Sphere lit from left (2005), where dense lines create a vibrating musicality within a circular form. The show emphasizes LeWitt's pursuit of replicability and infinite transformation, with geometric wall drawings integrating into and transcending the gallery space.
