Sol Le Witt Under Columbus Circle, 59th Street

"There is no reason why a piece shouldn't look as it was when it was made. I would like to have my work to always be as it was when it was made."
Sol Le Witt
     
     Sol Le Witt died two years before seeing his mural completed in September 2009, and unveiled on what would have been his 82nd birthday.  250 porcelain tiles made to his exact specifications guarantee that this work of art will always "be as it was when it was made."  In this sense, 59th Street is his legacy, his lasting testament.
