Tadao Ando: Spontaneous Sketches
On its fifth anniversary, Wrightwood 659 presents an intimate exhibition of drawings by the Pritzker Prize-winning architect of Wrightwood 659, Tadao Ando. Ando quickly sketched directly on the walls during the inaugural exhibition at Wrightwood 659, Ando and Le Corbusier: Masters of Architecture (October 12鈥揇ecember 15, 2018), and the drawings have been carefully preserved and framed. These hand-drawn sketches鈥攁ll done in blue marker on painted sheetrock鈥攈ave a spontaneous quality denoting an ephemerality, while their vibrancy expresses Ando鈥檚 creative generative process. The drawings represent some of Ando鈥檚 most important commissions, including his work on the island of Naoshima; the Pulitzer Arts Foundation in St. Louis, Missouri; the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth; the Clark Art Institute in Williamstown, Massachusetts; and his iconic Church of the Light in Ibaraki, Osaka, Japan.
