ABOUT ARTWORK +
Although Christopher Wool (1955) is one of the most important American painters of his generation, he has also amassed a large body of black-and-white photographs. His second photobook, "East Broadway Breakdown", was inspired by the neighborhood he lived and worked for 25 years. Taken at night using a 35mm camera, the pictures feature the streets between the Lower East Side and Chinatown, with broken-down storefronts and ramshackle staircases leading up to anonymous spaces. The high contrast images produce a noirish, graphic quality, and seemingly random forms emerge from skewed camera angles. Originally begun in the mid-1990s, the project was resumed and completed in 2002. In 2003, the photobook was published by Holzwarth Publications (Berlin) in a limited edition of 160 copies – each of them containing one unique photo (signed, numbered, dated, and stamped on the back) from the book. This one is #26.
