Mark Making and Erasure

.
The work of Christopher Wool certainly falls into the Category of Marks, Gestures & Scribbles and I've wanted to do a post about him for quite some time now. Famous and notable, others have waxed eloquent about his oeuvre and there's little I could add to what's already been said. But some of you may not be familiar with his work and this is probably the best way to introduce it to you.



(There's no sound until the annoying, little commercial ends)

Wool is also known for his text works which you can see in a very fascinating video over at CastYouArt that covers the Warhol, Newman, Wool “Barney is now at another party.“ Exhibition at Kunsthaus Graz. This is an interesting juxtaposition of work by these three titans.
