Christopher Wool: Swamp

The fourth in Christopher Wool's sumptuous slipcased series of limited-edition photobooks

Following his previous limited editions with Holzwarth Publications, Road, Yard and Westtexaspsychosculpture (all published in 2017), New York-based artist Christopher Wool (born 1955) presents Swamp, a beautiful, slipcased, large-format (10 x 15 inches) paperback volume that likewise features images that have been created through processing and reproduction, in which the original photographic material acts as only the basic layer.

Here, what initially appears as an unruly surface gives way to Wool's black-and-brown photographic superimpositions, fragments of motifs: backyards, abandoned car tires, huge cable drums, dead tree stumps, rusty bed frames or the wall of a shack with strange objects leaning against it.

Published in an edition of 1,200, each copy is signed by the artist and dated 2019.
