"It collects photographs taken by the artist between 2015 and 2017dust roads, gravel roads, roads partly overgrown or full of tire tracks, roads through desert and fields of rocks, through sparse woods and along precipices. Wool's roads are not purposeful trajectories toward destinations but the roads of perpetual, endless motion for motion's sake. In Wool's black-and-white photographs, only seldom does a fork in the road offer the viewer an apparent choice of which way to go.

[Cited in Martin Parr and Gerry Badger, The Photobook: A History, Volume III. (London and New York: Phaidon, 2014)]. New in publisher's packaging. From the publisher: "Between 1994 and 1995, Christopher Wool shot a series of photographs in downtown New York City that he calls East Broadway Breakdown, after a street on the Lower East Side, the neighborhood where he lives and works. Taken at night using a 35mm camera, the pictures feature the neighborhood's signature streets, with their dilapidated storefronts and ramshackle staircases leading up to anonymous spaces. The high contrast images are often hard to read, producing, rather than coherent images, seemingly random forms that emerge from skewed camera angles. Like his paintings, Wool's photographs hover between abstraction and representation, forcing viewers to confront their desire for visual coherence while offering an alternative construct for picture-making today." An excerpt from "Ghost Dog" by Anne Pontégnie ("Christopher Wool, Crosstown Crosstown"): "A succession of images in undifferentiated shades of gray that immerse the viewer in this nocturnal world. Their realism has more to do with this subjectivity dis-solved in its context than with any hypothetical truth of representation. In his paintings and photographs, Wool might associate with stray dogs, neurosis, or debris: stains, drips, and accidents of various origins, pictorial or organic. This voluntary assimilation with degrading phenomena -- another form of humor, this time, black -- is the instrument that allows him to achieve the dissolution found in these photographs and gives him access to a singular vision: one that is street level."

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".

First edition, number 96 of 160 copies with a signed print; (280 x 216 mm, 11 x 8½ in); black & white photographs printed in offset, design by Hans Werner Holzwarth and Christopher Wool; plain white adhesive-bound wrappers, photo-illustrated dust-jacket; black & white resin-coated print (101 x 149 mm, 5 x 6 in) signed and numbered in pencil on verso with annotations and stamps, publisher's tan printed folding box, numbered in pencil on bottom edge, fine; [328]pp. Christopher Wool took these photographs between 1994 and 1995 after returning to New York following a one-year DAAD residency in Berlin. They were all taken at night as he walked between his studio on the Lower East Side and his apartment in Chinatown. East Broadway Breakdown is the second book of Wool's photographs; the first, Absent Without Leave (1993), is compiled from photographs mostly made during the residency mentioned above, which had turned into a period of travel through Eastern and Western Europe and Turkey. For both books, Wool used 35mm film, which he developed at over-the-counter labs as 4 à 6 in prints such as the example included with this edition, when enlarged for publication, together with Wool's framing and choice of subject matter, they feel closely aligned to work made by Daido Moriyama and the Provoke photographers. However, Wool was unaware of the Japanese movement then, and any comparisons were coincidental. A photocopy edition of 18 copies preceded the published version in 2002.

Limited Edition. Quarto. SIGNED and dated by Wool in pencil to bottom of title page; hand-numbered as no. 17 of 33 copies. Christopher Wool's second artist's book?and arguably his first foray into experimental exhibition design?featuring 77 direct photocopies of his early works on paper, which Jeff Perrone aptly described as communicating "a chemical peel, a deep etching, some microscopic pitting that could also be read as cosmic, astronomical." The red goat hand-stamped to the front cover?which also appears within the corners of each image, in various states of decay?is purported to have been crafted as Wool's personal symbol at the time. Minor scuffing to plain stab-bound wrappers; near fine, with remarkably crisp interior. Scarce, with no OCLC records located. Signed.

pp. (328). Artist?s book reproducing the series of 160 night-time photographs which Christopher Wool took, between 1994 and 1995. All the images show downtown New York City, an area that Wool calls East Broadway Breakdown, after a street on the Lower East Side where he lived and worked. This one of the 160 special edition copies, with each copy accompanied by one of the 160 original photographs reproduced in the book. The photograph, loosely inserted in the book, is printed on kodak paper and copyright-stamped on the verso as well as being signed, dated and numbered by Wool in pencil. These special edition copies come housed in a thick cardboard protective drop-back box. [Ref. Martin Parr and Gerry Badger, The Photobook: A History, Volume III, 167].

Paperback. Condition: As new. First Edition. Risograph printed publication, 40 pages, sewn bound softcover. First Edition limited to 350 (and 8 AP) with this being 1 of only 75 DELUXE copies issued with a 9.5 x 12 inch photographic print "Cool Wool" SIGNED by Sebastien Girard. Risograph printed publication, 40 pages, sewn bound softcover. First Edition limited to 350 copies and 8 APs. This is a "bootleg" variant of Wool's now exceedingly rare 1989 edition. It is the same size as the original: 16 x 13 inches (41.4 x 32.7 cm). Unpaginated with circa 34 pages featuring Wool's large black lettered pairings of words. Like the works of Duchamp or Richard Prince, Girard's (re)appropriation of Wool's original in this instance means that his "Twice" version both copies yet takes up and complicates the original. By showing each of the 17 paintings printed twice (recto & verso) Girard's version forms new double-spread word combinations. The title "Twice" also suggests a second edition of one of Wool's most sought-after publications; and the book is presented in a black bag, another nod to the black blank covers of Wool's original, published in 1989 by Thea Westreich (New York) and Gisella Capitain (Cologne). NB: The colophon for each book shows the exact same number 75/350, and the signatures are both facsimile/photocopied signatures (the same for each copy); meaning that the entire edition is numbered 75/350, and is NOT signed by Christopher Wool or Sebatien Girard. CONDITION: New (the set). SIGNED From the publisher: "BLACK BOOK TWICE is a limited edition publication, with only 350 copies and 8 artist's proofs available, published by Sebastien Girard. This book is a variant bootleg of Christopher Wool's iconic 'Black Book' edition #75/350. In Girard's version, each of the 17 paintings is printed twice (recto & verso), forming new double spread word combinations. The title ' Twice ' also suggests a second edition of one of Wool's most sought-after publications. The book is presented in a black bag, a nod to the black blank covers of Wool's original BLACK BOOK, published in 1989 by Thea Westreich (New York) and Gisella Capitain (Cologne)." The limited edition of 75 copies includes the book and a signed and numbered riso print, depicting a card from the show « majerus wool warhol.'cold beer' the 'smudge tool' and other short stories » at the Michel Majerus estate in Berlin in 2020. An homage to Michel Majerus (COOL WOOL painting), certainly one of the first to bootleg Wool's paintings in 1992. Printed on 285 grs heavy card, signed and numbered by Sebastien Girard.

Berlin : Holzwarth Publications, 2018. Folio, gatefold card wrappers, pp. 184, 92 duotone illustrations, signed and dated 2018. 'In this artist?s book from 2018, Christopher Wool layers photos of backyard debris and dusty roads, of Texan wilderness and found situations rife with allusions to sculpture. Two realities invade each other, and their overlapping actualities collapse into an artistic reality beyond the moment caught by the artist?s camera. Thus the pictures are imbued with the history of their own making and filled with a vibrant sound close to that of Wool?s black-and-white paintings.' - the publisher Born in Boston in 1955, Christopher Wool is widely considered to be the most influential Post-conceptual visual artist of the twentieth century. Retrospectives of the work of Christopher Wool have been held at the Museum of Contemporary Art, the Guggenheim Museum, the Art Institute of Chicago and numerous other major institutions.
