Author: Wool, Christopher
In the photographs that make up the titular work, Christopher Wool (born 1955) works with pieces of fencing wire that he found on the roads and littered backyards of Marfa, Texas. Their shapes reminded him of his own drawing line, and so he explored their sculptural qualities in a series of starkly black-and-white, digitally treated prints. This is the fifth artist’s book in a series by Wool from the same publisher, which has become an important part of the artist’s practice.For his sculptural practice, the artist enlarges the wire maquettes and casts them in bronze and steel; in the photo works collected here, the found object becomes a subject of observation, its sculptural form created in its framing and in the subsequent treatment of the images. This is the fifth artist’s book in a series by Wool from the same publisher, which has become an important part of the artist’s practice. The book comes in an edition of 1,200, each copy signed by the artist.
