Adversary (page from Black Book), 1989
Christopher Wool's 'Adversary' (1989) is a screenprint from his Black Book portfolio, published by Thea Westreich (New York) and Gisela Capitain (Cologne). This print is from an edition of 350, with 8 additional artist's proofs (numbered I/VIII to VIII/VIII). Black Book was Wool's first major bookwork, containing 17 word paintings including 'Spokesman,' 'Terrorist,' 'Paranoiac,' and 'Adversary.' The portfolio features Wool's characteristic stenciled typography on paper. Wool's text-based works appear in major museum collections including MoMA, Whitney Museum, and Tate Modern, with similar prints selling at Christie's, Sotheby's, and Phillips auctions.
