Christopher Wool and Felix Gonzalez-Torres
Untitled (poster), 1993

It is a large poster and has some marks and a small, less than 5mm tear in one corner, overall though, in nice condition.
Central London based but happy to post in a tube.
I am looking to get as close to £1k as possible, very happy to take offers.

Christopher Wool – The Show Is Over, by mose on Nov 12, 2017 18:43:30 GMT 1, This piece is fantastic, but also a concern for me. What's to stop it being reproduced by the thousands when the Felix Gonzalez-Torres work is shown again? It was already shown in 2013 at Gagosian London, another fat stack of them:
www.gagosian.com/exhibitions/the-show-is-over--october-15-2013/exhibition-video
Now, if there was a way to differentiate them, there's something. To me, an identifiable, first-showing, Felix Gonzalez-Torres still alive example from Printed Matter is something special indeed. A true piece of history worth premium. But, being that there is nothing like a receipt or whatnot, can variations be discerned?

The version I have framed came from the Felix Gonzalez Torres retrospective at Guggenheim museum NY in spring of 1995. It was produced by Felix Gonzalez Torres as a stack piece in collaboration with Wool. The piece is dated 1993, which is when it was first exhibited, with printing date listed as 1995 because this was specifically from the Guggenheim installation. FGT stack pieces are always printed on thin uncoated stock. Not just this poster, all posters FGT produced for all of his stack sculptures. If you see one that's on glossy stock like being sold here then it’s a similar Wool poster produced much more recently (without involvement of FGT, obviously, since he's been dead for 20 years). Wool made several paintings in early 90s using this same text but with variations in how text was formatted and other details. I don't know for a fact that these new Gagosian posters were printed on coated stock but large format posters typically are, and the Gonzalez-Torres/Wool posters definitely are not so if its a thick shiny poster that's probably what it is.
From collecting standpoint the one I have is earlier, it's Wool and FGT, it's a real artist's multiple, it's documented in the FGT catalogue raissone, among other places.
New or old these printed sheets are produced and made available for visitors to take each and every time the artwork is exhibited. There is the potential for thousands upon thousands of these sheets to be in circulation, so very tough verifying the exhibition from which any particular sheet was taken.
I have fairly strong provenance/story to go with mine and I’m confident it’s genuine. So I’m happy with that.
It’s a beautiful and very powerful piece I’m proud to have on my wall.

My version pictured earlier in this thread is from the same Guggenheim Museum exhibition. Here's some close-ups.
