ISBN: 9780691115771.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChuck Close--a man who describes himself as \"an artist looking for trouble\"--has for three decades consistently but variously challenged the accepted boundaries of the printmaking tradition. Published to accompany a retrospective of his prints opening at Blaffer Gallery and traveling to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and several additional museums around the country, this is the first comprehensive survey of Closes revolutionary prints.\n\nFeaturing exquisite reproductions of the prints together with essays on Closes career and in-depth interviews with the artist and his master printmakers, the volume blends words and images to give readers unique insight into the creative process. The text highlights the intensely collaborative nature of Closes project and looks into the challenges posed by the unprecedented huge scale he prefers. Close may labor on a single print for as long as two years, working out aesthetic problems that might involve the retrieval of a centuries-old European method on one day and the creation of an entirely new technique (such as applying sunscreen to block light) the next. \"Prints have moved me in my unique work more than anything else has,\" Close says. \"Prints change the way I think about things.?\n\nFrom the artists ambitious first mezzotint to his recent pulp-paper multiples, this book chronicles the genius of Chuck Close in the medium in which he has done his most exciting work. Taken together, these prints constitute a remarkable self-portrait of the creative drive, vision, and intellect of one of Americas most important living artists.\n\nEXHIBITION SCHEDULE:\n\nBlaffer Gallery, the Art Museum of the University of Houston\n\nSeptember 13-November 23, 2003\n\nThe Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York\n\nJanuary 13-April 18, 2004\n\nMiami Art Museum, Florida\n\nMay 14-August 22, 2004\n\nKnoxville Museum of Art, Tennessee\n\nOctober 29, 2004-March 27, 2005\n\nMint Museum of Art, Charlotte, North Carolina\n\nApril 16-August 7, 2005\n\nAddison Gallery of American Art, Andover, Massachusetts\n\nSeptember 6-December 4, 2005\n\nModern Art Museum of Fort Worth, Texas\n\nApril 16-June 28, 2006\n\nMadison Museum of Contemporary Art in Madison, Wisconsin\n\nJuly 29 - October 6, 2006\n\nOrange County Museum of Art, Newport Beach, CA\n\nJanuary 28-April 20, 2007\n\nBoise Art Museum, Idaho\n\nMay 12-August 11, 2007\n\nPortland Art Museum, Oregon\n\nSeptember-December 2007\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Princeton University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44986663731253,"sku":"ByrdShop_069111577X","price":40.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780691115771_309a533c-4386-421a-a5b4-88a940104386.jpg?v=1778708446","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/chuck-close-prints-process-and-collaboration-9780691115771","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
