“Art makes order from chaos.
Clarity from obscurity.
Something from nothing.
(Sometimes nothing from something.)”

In February 2008, a team from Sol LeWitt’s studio installed Wall Drawing #1256: Five Pointed Stars, which the artist had created for FAPE in 2004. Located in the glass encased Behrenstraße entrance of the U.S. Embassy in Berlin, the wall drawing is visible to the public.
