CHUCK CLOSE EXHIBITION OPENS AT MCA

An exhibition of portraits from one of America’s best-loved visual artists, Chuck Close, has opened at the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia (MCA) as part of the Sydney International Art Series.

Chuck Close: Prints, Process and Collaboration, is the largest exhibition of Close’s work ever presented in the southern hemisphere and is exclusive to Sydney.

Close is an artist noted for his highly inventive paintings of the human face, and his large-scale portraits. His work as a printmaker and photographer is also renowned, and has been the subject of more than 200 solo exhibitions in more than 20 countries. He is also known for his unique portraits of artists, celebrities and other well-known public figures including Brad Pitt, Kate Moss, Lou Reed and President Obama.

Chuck Close: Prints, Process and Collaboration is one of two exhibitions supported by Destination NSW as part of the Sydney International Art Series, with Pop to popism currently presented at the Art Gallery of New South Wales.
