Chuck Close Prints: Process and Collaboration
Saturday, July 3rd - Sunday, September 12th
Note: exhibit just extended to September 26th!
$0-$10

I finally had a chance to see this show last Saturday and was amazed by the level of detail, vision and calculations that went into all of his works. In my opinion, definitely a show best seen up close and in person to really appreciate. The portrait of his wife down with his fingerprints was just incredible, not to mention some other pretty impressive works with repeated themes using different techniques.

Chuck Close Prints: Process and Collaboration, which includes more than 100 finished images, proofs, and objects, is the first survey to consider this important artist's extensive and groundbreaking work in the field.
