Sol LeWitt: A Wall Drawing Retrospective is on exhibit at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art, in North Adams, MA through the year 2033.
Here are some interesting articles about the show:

I saw a Sol LeWitt show at Dia Beacon a few years ago, and just loved it. While grabbing their URL for this post, I see that the show is still on exhibit there until September 2009. Check it out.
Also, I have a friend whose parents have a Sol LeWitt painting on their livingroom wall. It's not painted on canvas or board. It's painted directly on their wall, just like his work is painted on Mass MOCA's and Dia Beacon's walls. Pretty cool.
Before I knew the date that the Mass MOCA exhibition ends, I was trying to think of a good time to visit western Massachusetts as quickly as possible. Now that I know that it's 2033, and I'll be in my mid-70's when it closes, there's no rush. I know for a fact that I will see this show before my next birthday. Actually, since I seem to get to Mass MOCA at least once a year, I'll get to see this exhibit many times. That's nice.
