SOL Lewitt at 140 Franklin Street, NYC restored and remodelled reception by Hirsch Corti Architects.
140 Franklin Street is a Romanesque Revival building designed by Albert Wagner in 1887 for wrapping paper magnate D.S. Walton & Co. Over 100 years later, it is a 14-unit boutique condo conversion with a 24-hour doorman, full-time superintendent, and lobby with a mural by Sol LeWitt. It is located in the heart of Tribeca's historic districts and close to popular restaurants, dining, and transportation.
LeWitt is regarded as a founder of both Minimal and Conceptual art. His prolific two and three-dimensional work ranges from wall drawings (over 1200 of which have been executed) to hundreds of works on paper extending to structures in the form of towers, pyramids, geometric forms, and progressions. These works range in size from books and gallery-sized installations to monumental outdoor piece.
