Did you know that Sol Lewitt once decorated a tiny chapel in the middle of the North Italian countryside? Well he did and, as one might expect of the minimalist art icon, it’s an eye-popping explosion of colour and line. The so-called Barolo Chapel was built in 1914 as a place of shelter for the workers in the vineyards that surround it. The Ceretto family purchased the building, and the land it inhabits, in the 1970s, inviting Lewitt and his pal, the English-Swiss artist David Tremlett, to decorate the exterior and interior respectively in 1999. Read all about their hypnotic handiwork in Louise Benson’s feature on the acid-hued chapel here.
