However, for the touch-ups to the wall, both colors are uncovered so that the draftsmen can work on the barriers between the colors.
For the bulk of the process only one color is visible at a time - the draftsmen apply the orange paint, and then mask it off with paper and tape before applying the green paint. The combination of orange and green in Wall Drawing 880 creates such an intense contrast that the effect is dizzying, making it difficult for the draftsmen to execute the final touch-ups. It officially opened its doors almost six years ago on May 1st. As in many of LeWitt’s acrylic wall drawings, the vibrant colors of Wall Drawing 880 bounce off of each other, creating a vibrating optical effect. Loopy Doopy Rooftop Bar is located on the 16th story of the Conrad Hotel in New York City. In comparison to these earlier painted wall drawings, such as Wall Drawing 822 (also on display at MASS MoCA), the Loopy Doopy works appear much freer and more fluid in form.

The Loopy Doopy series followed LeWitt’s first painted wall drawings, which mostly featured monochrome or two-toned areas of color divided by curvy lines. For this exhibit it was executed on a 70-foot wall. The orange and green version of Loopy Doopy was first displayed alongside the black and white Loopy Doopy in an exhibit of new wall drawings at PaceWildenstein in 1998. Wall Drawing 880 is one of several wall drawings subtitled Loopy Doopy, which are based on drawings that Sol LeWitt made from taping two pencils together and twisting them across the paper to form an undulating pattern.
