Three Women, 2006
From Door Cycle
Three silkscreens on Saunders Watercolor paper 410 g. Size: 207 x 127 cm (81½ x 50 in). Edition: 9; each of three images (I - III) printed in three shades of rose: light, medium, and dark. All signed and numbered.
Christopher Wool created the edition Three Women for the group project Door Cycle, in homage to de Kooning’s 1964-66 Women paintings that were famously painted on wooden door panels. The use of erasure and overlaying through loose graffiti-like gestures as well as the use of silkscreen as a medium reflect Christopher Wool’s distinctive process of using silkscreen to duplicate paintings and subsequently work on these reproductions further (the artist refers to these finished works as “painted silkscreens”).
This edition is part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art, New York.
