Christopher Wool: Ink Tree Edition, 2001. First. paperback. fine. Kusnacht. Illustrated with 23 images (high-contrast photocopies of Wool's Polaroids of his abstract canvases, which have been layered with superimposed swathes of black and white paint). Thin folio. Plain white wrappers protected in 2-part card chemise and matching slipcase. (Kusnacht Switzerland: Ink Tree Edition, 2001). Limited First Edition -- number 206 of only 300 copies, signed, dated, and numbered by the artist in pencil, along with an additional pencil inscription: "For Jeffrey from Christopher July 2001". A fine copy, as new.
Wool's long-standing relationship with photographing his own work is of seminal importance, and he treats Polaroids of his paintings as a means of self-scrutiny. Here he has worked over photocopies of the Polaroids again and again with black and white paint that spills over and beyond the pictures. The complex layers of paint evoke a pictorial density about which Wool says, "these are the paintings I would like to do".
