Untitled (1988)

Luhring Augustine Gallery, New York (the USA).

Incised rollers with enamel on aluminum.

This work is a decorative geometrically regular black pattern, made on a white background. One of the surviving early works with a repeating motif illustrates Wool’s study of “lattice” patterns in a style associated with wallpapers. The author experimented with various types of stamps to create a sense of seriality. He brings “ordinary” visual forms into the framework of conceptual art, following the movement previously defined by Andy Warhol. The work denies the very concept of painting as something unique and carries a clear post-conceptual approach to painting. Art does not have to have a deep meaning but can act as a carrier of constant experimentation and dialogue within the framework of a significant artistic paradigm.
