Christopher Wool, Untitled (The Show is Over) (1993)

Offset lithograph on white poster paper
46.77 x 31.22 in (118.8 x 79.3 cm)
Excellent condition. This piece is unsigned.

Notes: A piece produced by collaboration with Christopher Wool and Felix Gonzalez-Torres, based on a 1990 painting by Wool, which appropriated the infamous text by the radical Russian revolutionary Vasily Rozanov. In 1967 Raoul Vaneigem championed the by-then forgotten text as the perfect expression of nihilism, making it a central text to the Situationist International. Here Wool spaces and disrupts the syntax of the phrase to avoid automatic interpretations and question the meaning of representation in painting itself.
