Chuck Close
Format: Paperback
What do the conditions mean?
Our conditions mean the following:
- New - a brand new book
- Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
- Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

For the past 30 years, American artist Chuck Close (b. 1940) has had essentially one subject, the human face. Since 1968, when Close made the first of his monumental portraits -- an airbrushed black-and-white image of his own head greatly enlarged from a passport-style photograph -- he has explored every conceivable formal permutation of this apparently simple representational problem. This volume, the most comprehensive assessment of Close's work yet published, accompanies a mid-career retrospective exhibition opening at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, on February 25, 1998.A leading figure in the New York art world since the early 1970s, Close has recently concentrated on portraits of his artist-friends and colleagues, characterized by colorful patterning and vivid brushwork. Subjects include Robert Rauschenberg, Roy Lichtenstein, Alex Katz, Kiki Smith, Lucas Samaras, and Lorna Simpson. Here, more than 90 paintings, prints, drawings, and photographs are reproduced, along with details and comparative illustrations.
