Chuck Close

We went to see "Chuck Close Prints: Process and Colaboration" at the MET, yesterday. It was a really cool exhibit because you got to see the process behind his mind-blowing huge portraits.

"The exhibition demonstrates how the artist—in collaboration with his master printers—has consistently challenged the traditional boundaries of such diverse printing techniques as aquatint, etching, lithography, silkscreen, linoleum cut, and Japanese and European woodcut. Visitors also have an opportunity to visualize the artist's creative processes through the display of progressive and state proofs for a number of his prints, as well as actual woodblocks, etching plates, and other print matrices."

Worth checking out. More info here.
