Chuck Close Prints: Processes and Collaborations

By The Idaho Statesman, Boise

May 25–The Boise Art Museum’s latest touring exhibit is part of its 70th anniversary celebration. The show looks at each step that painter, photographer and printmaker Chuck Close took to get from blank paper to his final print. In most of his work, Close, a University of Washington graduate, uses a grid as the underlying basis for an image. The 111-color, silk screen self-portrait at right is an example of how he does that. It’s one you’ll see if you attend the exhibit, which is open until Aug. 12.
