Christopher Wool’s composite work puts painting at the heart of mass culture’s media-led experiments. Combining pictorial practice and reproduction techniques, Wool paints, repeats, juxtaposes and reduces, in a conceptual and minimalist vein. The result is a fascinating and rich work of thirty years of research which sheds light on the artist's permanent questioning of artistic practice.
A major American painter marked by New York urban energy in the 1980s, Christopher Wool first concretizes the union between urban art and studio creation with striking figurative works. Then his practice strives for formal freedom through monumental abstract compositions. Wool's research more recently led him to sculpture.
The artist’s works in the Pinault Collection were shown for the first time in 2006-2007 during the "Post-Pop" exhibition at the Palazzo Grassi, Venice.
