Above: The Sol LeWitt Time Box closed and sealed 25 years ago
Below: an excerpt of the opening of the LeWitt Box (see full article on the opening of all the Time Boxes on the Time Box Index Page).
Sol LeWitt emerges from the audience next. His box is taken from the wall and put on the table in front of Antonakos and LeWitt. "I don't remember what's in there....it was embarrassing when I was approached. I never thought it would come to fruition".
As the box is opened, LeWitt looks inside - he pulls out a one inch white cube paper box. They continue to open the small white box - written in ink on the right side of the bottom of the box is: "Sol LeWitt Oct 13, 1974" - on the left side (the box has a diagonal line drawn across it): "A line not straight - corner to corner". Antonakos exclaims: "This must be Sol's smallest work". LeWitt replies: "Minimal art".
