This skimpy article leaves out basic facts about the wall drawings: the are not executed by the artist.

Oh, I wouldn't go that far. People still have fits over art. And it does, in fact remain controversial that LeWitt drawings are executed by others. NSpector ( talk) 06:58, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Sol LeWitt's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

LeWitt was married to Carol Androgio. I believe they had a daughter.
