Chuck Close Prints

Since the retrospective exhibition of Chuck Close's prints first began touring in 2003, it has visited some 20 venues around the world, even as the artist has persisted in working prolifically and brilliantly in this medium. Revealing the full arc of Close's career in printmaking, including his most recent work and technical achievements, this book features everything from woodcuts, woodburytypes, and anamorphic etchings to felt hand-stamp prints, pulp-paper multiples, and digital watercolour prints. With a thorough introduction, an essay by the distinguished scholar Richard Shiff, and interviews with the artist and master print makers, this classic study will stand as the definitive reference on Close's print practice for years to come.
