It also houses documentation of contemporary installations of the works worldwide, including the training of new draftspeople in the materials and methodology required to properly execute the wall drawings in accordance with LeWitt’s systems. The archive is dedicated to preserving the integrity of process and documentation in the realization of LeWitt’s wall drawings.
