"Though Sol LeWitt's books are not generally associated with narrative content, 'Cock Fight Dance' (1980) records the beginning of a cock fight in a format resembling a flip book. Once Le Witt's idea (of documenting the fight) has been acted upon, the artist merely records the process; the actions of the birds determine the true working out of the sequence. The birds strut, fly at each other, and appear to determined to follow the fight through. Suddenly, in the last few frames, a third participant appears: a cat slowly creeps toward the two embattled birds. The book ends on the tense, unsettling note of a system set into motion only to be threatened." -- Betty Bright, "Pick up the book, turn the page and enter the system : books by Sol Le Witt." Minneapolis : Minnesota Center for Book Arts, 1988, page [10].
