Catalogue Note

"As with the wall pieces, the gouaches have had their own organic development, I try to make them as part of the ritual of my life. I've found large paper, five feet wide, that allows me to make larger work. The ideas in the gouaches do not run parallel with those of the wall drawings. They are quite different and follow their own logic. The wall drawings have ideas that can be transmitted to others to realize. Only I can do the gouaches." - Sol Lewitt
