Catalogue Note
“The resolutory even effect of the silkscreen process and the attendant possibility of layering multiple screenings allowed Wool to create dense strata of imagery without any formal element gaining special prominence.” Katherine Brinson in Exh. Cat., New York, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, Christopher Wool, 2014, p. 43
