Christopher Wool
@ Xavier Hufkens 
— 

“I was liberated
by the pandemic.
I could make art
12 hours a day...” 

Born: 
1955, Chicago (IL),
United States. 

Based: 
New York City &
Marfa (Texas). 

Curator: 
Anne Pontégnie. 

The exhibition: 
Spans four floors
of the new Xavier 
Hufkens gallery in
Brussels designed
by Ghent-based 
architects Robbrecht 
& Daem; bringing
together several
distinct bodies of work
by Wool, comprising
a group of paintings,
new works on paper,
a series of bronze

“For me, it was
never about making
masterpieces. That’s
what postmodernism
means to me, the
end of that modernist
idea that the artist
makes perfect works.
I make alot of mistakes
but I keep them. I use
them and recycle them.”
