(NEW YORK, NY – September 5, 2013) –– From October 25, 2013, through January 22, 2014, the Solomon R. GuggenheimMuseum presents a retrospective of American artist Christopher Wool, assembling the most comprehensive examination to date of his rigorous oeuvre. Featuring approximately 90 paintings, photographs, and works on paper, Christopher Wool explores developments across the artist’s influential career, from his early uses of appropriated patterns and text to recent abstract works created through collage, erasure, and digital manipulation.

The exhibition is organized by Katherine Brinson, Associate Curator, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. Following its presentation in New York, Christopher Wool will travel to the Art Institute of Chicago from February 23 through May 11, 2014
