Special Guest: Chuck Close

Studio 360 | Jun 7, 2012

Andersen and painter Chuck Close talk about art on and off the grid.

Chuck Close has been painting since the 1960s. He helped create a renaissance of portraiture in the 1970s with his huge photorealist canvasses of family and friends, and his recent works explode with pixelated blobs of color. His work has been the subject of major retrospective exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago.
