Chuck Close and Jenny Holzer (Photo: Liz Ligon)
Last time we saw Chuck Close, the photorealist painter was rocking an unreal outfit at the Brooklyn Artists Ball. If you didn’t have the $1,000 to hobnob with him there, you can do it for a lot less May 1, when he appears in The Strand’s Rare Book Room to celebrate the re-release of Chuck Close Prints: Process and Collaboration.
Purchasing the survey of his printmaking online ($55) gets you admission to his conversation with Terrie Sultan, director of the Parrish Art Museum. Who knows, maybe you can cadge an invitation to his red-painted East Village apartment.
