Description

Christopher Wool. My House III (2000). Edition of 100. Silkscreen in 7 colours, printed on 335 gsm matt custom art paper. Produced by Brand X Editions, New York City. 102 x 76 cm (40 x 30 in). Signed, numbered and dated by the artist. £295.00. In keeping with these procedures Wool has chosen to remake a text painting from the early 80s at several removes. Photographed, xeroxed and then re-separated to become the basis of a screenprint, the original work, itself a painting without an image has become an image of a painting. The text reads as a statement of similar circularity: 'If you don't like it you can get the fuck out of my house', it states in black and white. If you can, the question - and specifically the question of painting - is probably no longer hanging in the air.
