BLACK BOOK TWICE  is a limited edition publication, with only 350 copies and 8 artist’s proofs available, published by Sebastien Girard. This book is a variant bootleg of Christopher Wool’s iconic ‘Black Book’ edition #75/350. In Girard’s version, each of the 17 paintings is printed twice (recto & verso), forming new double spread word combinations. The title ‘ Twice ’ also suggests a second edition of one of Wool’s most sought-after publications. The book is presented in a black bag, a nod to the black blank covers of Wool’s original BLACK BOOK,  published in 1989 by Thea Westreich (New York) and Gisella Capitain (Cologne).

The limited edition of 75 copies includes the book and a signed and numbered riso print, depicting a card from the show « majerus wool warhol…’cold beer’ the ‘smudge tool’ and other short stories » at the Michel Majerus estate in Berlin in 2020. An homage to Michel Majerus (COOL WOOL painting), certainly one of the first to bootleg Wool’s paintings in 1992. Printed on 285 grs heavy card, signed and numbered by Sebastien Girard. Print size 24 x 30 cm.
