result: $98,500
In 1986 Wool began using rollers and other items found in hardware stores as well as stamps he created to make pattern paintings featuring banal decorative motifs. By repeating imagery, with layers or skips in the registration, with splatters, drips and other imperfections, the works reveal the experience of painting through their non-traditional composition.
Signed, dated and inscribed to the reverse 'For George X-Mas 1990 Wool 1988'.
provenance: Gift from the artist to the present owner
