Catalogue Note
"Wool's early paintings are, indeed, like furtive flickerings of light in the shadow of a night sky... [He] produced a detailed, all-over field suggesting a chemical peel, a deep etching, some microscopic pitting that could also be read as cosmic, astronomical." - Jeff Perrone ("In the Shadow of Painting", Parkett, No. 33, Fall 1992, p. 103)
