Christopher Wool had a sense of humor about his artwork and his growing celebrity in the art world. This piece of paper features a sketch Wool made for his studio assistant illustrating how to get to the hardware store. In fun and jest, Wool signed and dated this work insinuating that it would one day be worth something.
Signed and dated to the lower margin 'Wool 89'.
provenance: Gift from the artist to the present owner
