With sincere thanks to the Laura P. Hall Memorial Fund and the Hall Fund committee through the Department of Art & Archaeology, the Graphic Arts Collection has acquired this rare bound collection of etchings by Sol LeWitt (1928-2007).
The Museum of Modern Art digitized the entire volume here, but the beauty of the ink on paper can really only be appreciated with the original. We anticipate this volume will be on exhibit in the Princeton University Art Museum during 2018. More information on that coming.
