About This Item
Berlin: DAAD, 1993. Fine in white wrappers, blue dust jacket; hint of wear to spine crown.. First Edition. Quarto. 1000 copies printed. SIGNED by Wool. 160 black and white reproductions of travel photographs taken between 1989-1993, and published to look like photocopies; the original photocopies were exhibited at Wool's Guggenheim retrospective. The artist's apparent lack of concern for technical acumen belies not only his long and profound relationship with photography, but more importantly his creative virtuosity which also thrives on, if not redefines, this Provoke style paradigm. (Parr / Badger, v3).
