A brush with… Christopher Wool—podcast
Christopher Wool is the subject of the latest episode of 'A brush with…' podcast, where he discusses his career spanning painting, photography, and sculpture. Born in Chicago in 1955 and working between New York and Marfa, Texas, Wool emerged in the late 1970s when painting's validity was questioned amid the rise of conceptual and photographic art. He reflects on influences including the Art Ensemble of Chicago, Dan Flavin, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Dieter Roth, and Toni Morrison's 'The Bluest Eye', which inspired one of his text paintings. The episode also covers his recent show 'See Stop Run' in New York and Marfa, and his current exhibition at Gagosian in London.
