Abstract
ABSTRACT This exploration will examine the presence of algebraic and topological structures in the conceptual artist Sol LeWitt's large-scale panel called Wall Drawing 413. The algebraic structures will focus on group theory found in the permutations of the four colors used and a topological investigation that will classify some of the compact 2-dimensional surfaces that can be constructed from gluing edges of matching colors of one square in the artwork.
