"One faces in Wool's work only the arbitrary order of carefully achieved randomness...They are uniform, deliberate, absolute, and masterful, but entirely resistant to one's natural search for meaning, which they seem to deny" John Caldwell, "New Work: Christopher Wool," Christopher Wool, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, 1998
