Veronica Roberts, Director of Research, Sol LeWitt Wall Drawing Catalogue RaisonnĂ© and Adjunct Curator of Contemporary Art, Indianapolis Museum of Art, will deliver the lecture "Boston's First Sol LeWitt Wall Drawing" on September 19, focusing on Wall Drawing # 118, which was first installed at SMFA in 1971. Delving into the challenges and rewards of researching this artist's unique body of conceptual art, she will also highlight the special importance LeWitt attached to his collaborations with art students at SMFA and schools across the country and abroad.

Established in 1978 by Leo and Betty Beckwith (daughter Carol is an alumna), the Beckwith series was created to further SMFA student development by featuring artists and cultural thinkers of national and international stature.
