Opening April 15, “Drawing Dialogues: Selections from the Sol LeWitt Collection” is an exhibition featuring over 100 works by more than 60 artists from the renowned artist’s extraordinary collection. It is the first large-scale exhibition of the collection to be held in New York in over 30 years. Evening Opening April 14, 6-8pm 
Artist Highlight: Fred Sandback 
“The first sculpture I made with a piece of string and a little wire, was the outline of a rectangular solid—a 2 x 4 inch—lying on the floor. It was a casual act, but it seemed to open up a lot of possibilities for me. I could assert a certain place or volume in its full materiality without occupying and obscuring it.”* Fred Sandback was a minimalist, conceptual sculptor known for his yarn sculptures, drawings, and prints. Born in Bronxville, New York in 1943, Sandback studied sculpture at Yale University along with artists such as Donald Judd and Robert Morris. In describing his work he stated, "It's a consequence of wanting the volume of sculpture without the opaque mass that I have the lines. Sandback was one of a small group of avant garde artists sponsored by the Dia Center for the Arts (diaartfoundation).
