Published to accompany a retrospective of his prints opening at Blaffer Gallery and traveling to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and several additional museums around the country, this is the first comprehensive survey of Close's revolutionary prints. Featuring exquisite reproductions of the prints together with essays on Close's career and in-depth interviews with the artist and his master printmakers, the volume blends words and images to give readers unique insight into the creative process.The text highlights the intensely collaborative nature of Close's project and looks into the challenges posed by the unprecedented huge scale he prefers. Close may labor on a single print for as long as two years, working out aesthetic problems that might involve the retrieval of a centuries-old European method on one day and the creation of an entirely new technique (such as applying sunscreen to block light) the next.'Prints have moved me in my unique work more than anything else has,' Close says. 'Prints change the way I think about things'. From the artist's ambitious first mezzotint to his recent pulp-paper multiples, this book chronicles the genius of Chuck Close in the medium in which he has done his most exciting work. Taken together, these prints constitute a remarkable self-portrait of the creative drive, vision, and intellect of one of America's most important living artists.Exhibition schedule include: Blaffer Gallery, the Art Museum of the University of Houston September 13-November 23, 2003; The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York January 13-April 18, 2004; Miami Art Museum, Florida May 14-August 22, 2004; Knoxville Museum of Art, Tennessee October 29, 2004-March 27, 2005; Mint Museum of Art, Charlotte, North Carolina April 16-August 7, 2005; Addison Gallery of American Art, Andover, Massachusetts September 6-December 4, 2005; Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, Texas April 16-June 28, 2006; Madison Museum of Contemporary Art in Madison, Wisconsin July 29 - October 6, 2006; Orange County Museum of Art, Newport Beach, CA January 28-April 20, 2007; Boise Art Museum, Idaho May 12-August 11, 2007; and, Portland Art Museum, Oregon September-December 2007.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49587890848017,"sku":"GOR007388241","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49802286432529,"sku":"CIN069111577XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50572324569361,"sku":"CIN069111577XVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53201209098513,"sku":"GOR008317598","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/069111577X.jpg?v=1751199627"},{"product_id":"chantal-akerman-book-terrie-sultan-9780977802852","title":"Chantal Akerman","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50357212053777,"sku":"GOR013935119","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/097780285X.jpg?v=1750820489"},{"product_id":"marshall-kerry-james-book-terrie-sultan-9780810935273","title":"Marshall, Kerry James","description":"Marshall creates lyrical images of the African-American urban experience with scenes of family life in the public-housing projects and solid middle-class homes of black urbanites.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50445516407057,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50445517422865,"sku":"CIN0810935279G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51477422932241,"sku":"GOR007538034","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0810935279.jpg?v=1751011496"},{"product_id":"lipski-donald-book-terrie-sultan-9780913883280","title":"Lipski Donald","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50464753385745,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50464754073873,"sku":"CIN091388328XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52816583065873,"sku":"CIN091388328XVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/091388328X.jpg?v=1751140298"},{"product_id":"damaged-romanticism-book-terrie-sultan-9781904832515","title":"Damaged Romanticism","description":"Features 15 internationally recognised contemporary artists whose work, in painting, sculpture, installations, and photography based media, belongs neither to a style nor a traditional 'school', but is thematically linked by a visual representation of how stubborn optimism, rather than utopianism, triumphs in the face of daily adversity.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50467776233745,"sku":"CIN1904832512G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51262296555793,"sku":"NIN9781904832515","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1904832512.jpg?v=1750997258"},{"product_id":"james-surls-the-splendora-years-1977-1997-book-terrie-sultan-9780292709928","title":"James Surls: the Splendora Years, 1977-1997","description":"Shortlisted, Fred Whitehead Award for Best Design of a Trade Book, 2006   A prolific artist with a prodigious gift for stimulating the creativity of others, James Surls is one of the most important sculptors working in America today. His art blends natural forms created of wood, steel, and bronze with sophisticated, sometimes edgy imagery and content to explore fundamental dualities and paradoxes-male and female, joyous optimism and anxious foreboding, conscious rationality and unconscious intuition. Fusing personalized folk idioms with the aesthetics of high modernism, Surls's sculptures are clearly self-expressive, yet freighted with universal meaning.    This beautifully illustrated book, which accompanies an exhibition of the same name at the Blaffer Gallery, the Art Museum of the University of Houston, captures an extraordinarily creative period in Surls's career-the two decades he lived and worked in Splendora, Texas. During this time, Surls established a home and artists' colony in the East Texas pineywoods, where he produced an astonishing body of work while encouraging the creativity of other visual and performing artists. Magnificent color and black-and-white images illustrate the key sculptures and works on paper that Surls created in Splendora.    Accompanying the images are essays and interviews that offer fascinating insights into Surls's artistic breakthrough in Splendora. Terrie Sultan introduces Surls's work and provides a concise biography of the artist. Eleanor Heartney places Surls's Splendora works within the larger contexts of American and international art. Artists and gallery owners John Alexander, Joseph Havel, The Art Guys, Hiram Butler, and Sharon and Gus Kopriva, as well as curator Jim Harithas and architect Peter Zweig, share lively memories of Splendora as an artist colony and of Surls's pivotal role as artistic mentor and arts impresario for the whole Houston-area arts community. James Surls and his wife Charmaine Locke add a personal signature to the book by describing how their love and their work blossomed in an atmosphere of total freedom to experiment and create.    This publication of James Surls's Splendora works clearly establishes that no other artist of Surls's generation has had a greater impact upon the development of Texas as a center of vibrant creativity. At the same time, it confirms Surls's standing within the contemporary international art world as a revolutionary who has expanded the boundaries of traditional sculpture while maintaining a high degree of aesthetic and intellectual quality.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51748001349905,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51748002038033,"sku":"CIN0292709927VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780292709928.jpg?v=1763478952"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-terrie-sultan.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
