From the publisher:

"Wool's work critically examines aspects and complexities of abstraction and representation through the vernacular references of techniques, processes, images, and language. This first major solo survey of his work in the United States, includes some fifty key selections of Wool's work from 1986 to the present; traveled to the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue."
