Lot Essay

“For me, Wool is a very pure version of something dissonant and poignant. His all-or-nothing, caustic-cerebral, ambivalent-belligerent gambit is riveting and even a little thrilling. It's what makes him one of the more optically alive painters out there" (Jerry Saltz, quoted in, "Hard Attack", The Village Voice, December 8 - 14, 2004, p. 78).
