Synopsis

A catalog for Wool's landmark 2024 exhibition in New York City

American artist Christopher Wool's (born 1955) celebrated installation See Stop Run took place on the 19th floor of an unoccupied space in Manhattan's Financial District in 2024. Curated by Anne Pontegnie, the exhibition situated 75 works from the last decade in dialogue with the vacant 18,000 square-foot space and the cityscape outside. Over the course of four-and-a-half months, the show attracted 12,500 visitors.
This catalog takes the form of an expanded artist's book, gathering nearly 300 photographs of the installation. Re-mediating the project through the eyes of its visitors--artists, friends and Instagram users--the book reflects on the ways in which contemporary art exhibitions are documented and reproduced. The publication also features an extensive interview between the artist and Pontegnie regarding the show and Wool's three-decades-long approach to photography and installation. See Stop Run is currently re-installed in the historic Brite Building in Marfa, Texas, through 2027.
