Panels and Tower with Colours and Scribbles

The installation by LeWitt at the Castello di Rivoli consists of a heptagonal sculpture and one of the Wall Drawings .The piece was conceived specifically for the room in which it is installed. Each wall is painted with a large rectangular shape in a different monochrome, framed by a black band and featuring a dense tangle of signs executed in graphite on its surface. The number of pictorial interventions —seven —is suggested by the available portions of wall surface. Each element painted on the wall is mirrored in its “double,” in the corresponding facet of the geometric solid, which stands at the center of the room. The viewer is invited to walk around the sculpture, to note the various colors and the combinatorial rules that have generated them. The perception of color is put to the test by the interference of the graphic signs on the painted surfaces and, above all, by the ambient light .All the elements of the pictorial language thus enter into an active relationship with one another.
