Sol LeWitt, American, b. 1928, Brushstrokes, 1997, Gouache on paper, The LeWitt Collection, Chester, Connecticut

OBERLIN, OH.- A major exhibition of works by American conceptual artist Sol LeWitt (b. 1928) opens at the Allen Memorial Art Museum (AMAM) and will remain on view through June 17, 2007. A free gallery talk about the exhibition will be given on Friday, March 9 at 6:00 pm, preceded by the exhibition's opening reception at 5:00 pm. Both events are open to the public.

Among the works on view are two bold new wall drawings—each measuring more than 18 feet high—created by Sol LeWitt specifically for the AMAM's Ellen Johnson Gallery. LeWitt, who knew Oberlin’s legendary professor of art Ellen Johnson well, generously donated the graphite "scribble drawing" to the AMAM. Oberlin students and area residents, under the guidance of professional artists from LeWitt’s wall drawing studio, spent the month of January working on these huge drawings.
