Christopher Wool ๐บ๐ธ Stencil Letters โข Book โข Print Release, by toshspice on May 4, 2017 22:58:50 GMT 1, Destroys? well if that isnt a bit over the top as an explanation god knows what is! Looks like a couple of slashes with a razor blade or stanley blade so should be easy fixed. Bloody pointless thing to do, cant imagine what the hell he got out of doing it!
It's a PR job. Wool just got himself a whole heap of publicity.

Insurance scam?  It all seems a bit fishy to me. Very odd.

But the damage looks so minimal and clean the repair isnt that hard or expensive. I think the publicity idea is probably spot on. Patch the back, touch up, back on sale in a week! |

Whether it's and excuse for a potential buyer to back out or whether it's a publicity stunt. Or whether this valued at millions painting is insured, it doe slook like a very delicate slash and looking at the artists ouevres. I'm sure he could knock out anotehr one easily.

Christopher Wool ๐บ๐ธ Stencil Letters โข Book โข Print Release, 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 itโs 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 Iโm confident itโs genuine. So Iโm happy with that.
Itโs a beautiful and very powerful piece Iโm proud to have on my wall.

Mine is a smaller sized poster from an exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum, New York in 1995. Absolutely love it. There's a much larger sized format that was available from an exhibition at the Gagosian Gallery, London in 2013 that might be worth trying to track down. Good luck sourcing one losvce.
