Wall Drawing #1185 Scribbles: Inverted Curve (Horizontal)

A monumental wall drawing by Sol LeWitt featuring dense, energetic scribble marks arranged to form an inverted curve sweeping horizontally across the surface. The work exemplifies LeWitt's exploration of seriality and instruction-based art, where the accumulated hand-drawn lines create a dynamic interplay between order and apparent chaos. The composition balances the gestural quality of the scribbled marks with a precise underlying geometric structure, highlighting the tension between concept and execution central to LeWitt's practice.
