Christopher Wool
About Christopher Wool
Christopher Wool is a painter known for his bold, text-based works and abstract explorations of process and erasure. Born in Chicago, Illinois in 1955, he studied at Sarah Lawrence College before enrolling at the New York Studio School in 1973. Wool gained prominence in the late 1980s with his large-scale stenciled word paintings, featuring fragmented phrases rendered in stark black letters on white backgrounds. His later work incorporates silkscreen, layering, and overpainting techniques that interrogate authorship, repetition, and the limits of abstraction. Wool remains a central figure in contemporary art, celebrated for his raw, conceptual approach to painting
