I appreciate Christoper Wool's recognition of the larger picture, the historical canon of art, and how artists can transition fluidly between a variety of mediums both analog and digital without needing to stray from their core ideals and intentions. These are the bodies of work that will best stand the test of time. They are not only transparent and informative, they are also respectful of the entire chain. Truly a wonderful approach to reenvisioning art as we move forward.
I love Christopher Wool's work, but I do think that it's not as important or beautiful as the early paintings of Jannis Kounellis. For that matter, it's often not as good as the work of Sofie Dawo. Wool has gotten a long way just on being American. He matters to Americans because he is American; in the global perspective, meh. John Chamberlain's work, though, I could look at every day.
Nice effort at the end there as Ann makes a point about Wools abstraction being post modern. He says “those guys already killed modernism so I could just get on with it”🤔
Beautiful artist
Wonderful .like when the artist connected between sketch sculpture painting ... Sure plus a style of art ... I can't tell you are an artist
The funny thing about this conversation is, that they don't mention Donald Judd and John Chamberlain, who are both very present in Marfa.

Great interview.
