Softcover. Condition: Very good. First edition. A great association copy, inscribed on the half-title page: "To Chuck [Close] & Leslie, Bob B." Chuck Close is the celebrated contemporary painter, one of the most famous of our times, known for his large-scale photorealist and pixilated portraits (his most expensive painting sold…for $4.3 million at auction in 2005). Among numerous accolades, he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Art by Bill Clinton. Robert Bechtle is another accomplished, well-known photorealist, known for his paintings of Californian suburbia and cars, as well as portraits like Chuck Close. This book, produced on the occasion of his major retrospective at SF MOMA, is the definitive look at his career, tracing his work from the 1960s. With essays by Janet Bishop, Michael Auping, Jonathan Weinberg, and Charles Ray. At rear is a chronology his life as well as his exhibition history. A very good quarto in wrappers with very minor bumping to the wraps' corners and a couple bumps to the rear edge of the spine near its top, also light sunning to spine. A fantastic association between contemporary photorealists and portraitists. Signed.
