Christopher Wool Hardcover with dust jacket out of print .................. |
This book throws the recent
developments in the work of American artist Christopher Wool into
sharp focus. Eleven paintings and large-format silkscreens from 2007
that were exhibited together at Galerie Max Hetzler in Berlin are presented
on beautiful tip-in color plates that reveal all the richness of nuances
in this work that seems to become ever more subtle, ever more painterly.
This is abstract art that no longer has anything to do with denial, as
Friedrich Meschede writes in his essay: “If I should attempt to
describe it through language, it seems to me that Christopher Wool wants
to give expression to the nothingness before nothing, and to do so exclusively
through the pictorial means of the elementally visible, with no terms
attached. Christopher Wool neither insists on nor attacks anything. What
he does attempt is to re-think the terms you arrive at when viewing his
pictures.” ..................
