Hardcover. Large quarto. Hardcover. Bound in tan cloth with illustrated jacket. 335 pages : illustrations (some color) ; 35 cm. Now available in a revised and expanded edition, this book offers the first comprehensive critical examination of one of America's most celebrated living artists. Chuck Close reinvented portraiture almost four decades ago with a series of nine-foot-tall, black-and-white likenesses of himself and fellow artists, which astonished an art world dominated by minimalism and conceptualism. Close has since explored an array of mediums. This lavish, large-format volume is the first to deal with all aspects of Close's career and to place them in a biographical context. Christopher Finch's insight into CLose's achievement comes by way of hundreds of studio visits and thousands of hours of conversation since he met Close in 1968. Finch provides an engaging, in-depth analysis of Close's portraits on canvas, from the continuous-tone airbrushed heads of the 1960s and '70s to the painterly "prismatic grids" of the past two decades. The more than 300 illustrations features in the book survey almost all of CLose's paintings, including his most recent work, together with a selection of his prints and multiples, and examples of his photographic oeuvre. This beautifully designed volume reveals not only the variety of pictorial strategies Close has devised, but the extrordinary personality of the artist behind the work. VG+.

Hardcover. Etat : As New. Etat de la jaquette : As New. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 350 pages. Published in 2010. The artist's oral autobiography. With accompanying art and photographs. One of the most valuable art books of our time. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. The production values are sublime, featuring brilliant reproductions of Chuck Close's work, vintage photographs, and contemporary images of the wheelchair-bound artist at work. Edited by Christopher Finch in close collaboration with the artist, whose voice rises eloquently on every page. Printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper in Munich, Germany to the highest standards. In pictorial DJ with titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Presents "Chuck Close: Life". The companion volume to "Chuck Close: Work" (2010), work and life being inseparable, not just complementary for every true artist, not just Close. He is also Modern art's Multiple-Disability Incarnate. His success is not just remarkable, it is awe-inspiring even though he tells it in the most unsentimental, matter-of-fact manner. Suffering from dyslexia, neuromuscular problems, and prosopagnosia, a perceptual disorder that interferes with his ability to recognize faces, Close describes his art as one of "maximizing skills and minimizing deficits". "A richly textured narrative covering every phase of Close's evolution, following him to Yale as a hippie abstract painter to 1960's Downtown New York, where Close and his wife, Leslie, were art pioneers. Close realized that the human face was his great subject, and that his approach would involve brutal detail and monumental scale" (Donna Seaman). The most touching parts are where Chuck Close, a cool persona to his core, talks about how art saved his life, by goading him to persevere, overcome, and ultimately prevail where lesser souls would have succumbed to self-pity, self-neglect, and self-destruction. As such, he will be sorely missed. An absolute "must-have" title for Chuck Close collectors. This copy is very boldly and beautifully signed in black pen-marker on the half-title page by both Chuck Close and Christopher Finch. They signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This book uniquely shows Chuck Close's portrait of Christopher Finch on the DJ flap. This title is a contemporary art book classic. As far as we know, this is the only such double-signed copy of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A rare signed copy thus. One of the greatest artists of the 20th century and our time. A fine collectible copy. ISBN 3791336770. Signed by Author.…
