Sol LeWitt, American 1928-2007- Lines and Gradations of Lines, 1971; pencil on card, signed and dated 1971 lower right, 15.5x15.cm (unframed) Provenance: Gifted to David Mann by the artist. Note: In 1971 David Mann was employed to paint the lines on the wall of Lisson Gallery for Sol LeWitt's exhibition, this piece is the instructions given to Mann by LeWitt. Accompanied with this lot is a copy of their correspondence. Between 1968 and his death in 2007, LeWitt created more than 1,270 wall drawings. The wall drawings, executed on-site, generally exist for the duration of an exhibition; they are then destroyed, giving the work in its physical form an ephemeral quality. They can be installed, removed, and then reinstalled in another location, as many times as required for exhibition purposes. When transferred to another location, the number of walls can change only by ensuring that the proportions of the original diagram are retained.
