Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 350 pages. Published in 2010. The artist's oral autobiography. With accompanying art and photographs. One of the most valuable art books of our time. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subs…equent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. The production values are sublime, featuring brilliant reproductions of Chuck Close's work, vintage photographs, and contemporary images of the wheelchair-bound artist at work. Edited by Christopher Finch in close collaboration with the artist, whose voice rises eloquently on every page. Printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper in Munich, Germany to the highest standards. In pictorial DJ with titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Presents "Chuck Close: Life". The companion volume to "Chuck Close: Work" (2010), work and life being inseparable, not just complementary for every true artist, not just Close. He is also Modern art's Multiple-Disability Incarnate. His success is not just remarkable, it is awe-inspiring even though he tells it in the most unsentimental, matter-of-fact manner. Suffering from dyslexia, neuromuscular problems, and prosopagnosia, a perceptual disorder that interferes with his ability to recognize faces, Close describes his art as one of "maximizing skills and minimizing deficits". "A richly textured narrative covering every phase of Close's evolution, following him to Yale as a hippie abstract painter to 1960's Downtown New York, where Close and his wife, Leslie, were art pioneers. Close realized that the human face was his great subject, and that his approach would involve brutal detail and monumental scale" (Donna Seaman). The most touching parts are where Chuck Close, a cool persona to his core, talks about how art saved his life, by goading him to persevere, overcome, and ultimately prevail where lesser souls would have succumbed to self-pity, self-neglect, and self-destruction. As such, he will be sorely missed. An absolute "must-have" title for Chuck Close collectors. This copy is very boldly and beautifully signed in black pen-marker on the half-title page by both Chuck Close and Christopher Finch. They signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This book uniquely shows Chuck Close's portrait of Christopher Finch on the DJ flap. This title is a contemporary art book classic. As far as we know, this is the only such double-signed copy of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A rare signed copy thus. One of the greatest artists of the 20th century and our time. A fine copy. ISBN 3791336770. Signed by Author.

With an essay written by Robert Rosenblum. 13 portraits are featured, and there are many supporting i…llustrations in addition to the actual 13 works. Charles Thomas Close (1940 ? 2021) was an American painter, visual artist, and photographer who made massive-scale photorealist and abstract portraits of himself and others. Close also created photo portraits using a very large format camera. The recipient of the National Medal of Arts from President Bill Clinton in 2000, the New York State Governor's Art Award, and the Skowhegan Arts Medal, among many others, Close received over 20 honorary degrees including one from Yale University, his alma mater. In 1990, he was elected into the National Academy of Design as an Associate Academician, and became a full Academician in 1992. New York City Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg appointed the artist to the municipality's Cultural Affairs Advisory Commission, a body mandated by the City Charter to advise the mayor and the cultural affairs commissioner. Close painted President Clinton in 2006 and photographed President Barack Obama in 2012. In 2010 he was appointed by Obama to the President's Committee on the Arts and Humanities. Signed by Author.

11.25 x 9.25 inches. Cloth; dust jacket. Inscribed by the artist on front free endpaper. First Edition. "In December 1988, at a high point of his career, a collapsed spinal artery left the painter Chuck Close paralyzed from the shoulders down. He was famous by then for his monumental portraits that deconstructed the conventional… notions of identity and personality. Now Close was forced to confront his own identity: could a paralyzed man make monumental art? Three years later, a show of new Close paintings appeared; to the astonishment of the art world, they were as large and powerful as ever. Not only had he found a way to paint his physically demanding portraits again; they had also been transformed. A more impressionistic and dynamic vision now throbbed from his canvases with new emotional intensity.". Some light toning to sheets and jacket, leaned, moderate shelfwear, a few pale stains on jacket.

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.
