Catalogue Note

"For me, Wool is a very pure version of something dissonant and poignant. His all-or-nothing, caustic-cerebral, ambivalent-belligerent gambit is riveting and even a little thrilling. It's what makes him one of the more optically alive painters out there." - Jerry Saltz ("Hard Attack", The Village Voice, December 8 - 14, 2004, p. 78)
