A Couple of Ways of Doing Something

Description:
A Couple of Ways of Doing Something features fifteen of Chuck Close's delicately intimate daguerreotypes (including striking enlargements) of leading contemporary artists, paired with Bob Holman's witty and beautifully typeset poems. As individual portraits, each daguerreotype offers an intimate and immensely revealing study of the subject, extending the hyperrealist tradition of portraiture for which Close is renowned. In keeping with the exhibition title, Chuck Close, as curator, has included examples of his other works taken from each daguerreotype in a variety of media, including tapestries and photogravures. The collected work becomes a transfixing group portrait of Close's influential and highly creative circle of friends and colleagues—from Andres Serrano to Cindy Sherman—as well as an exploration of challenging photographic mediums. This exhibition provides the perfect opportunity to include supplemental works from your institutions own collection.
This project was made possible, in part, through the generous support of Lannan Foundation and Carey C. Shuart.
Contents:
The exhibition consists of 15 daguerreotype portraits in cases, 20 digital pigment prints accompanied by poems by Bob Holman, 7 tapestries, and 2 photogravures. The show requires approximately 310 feet of running wall space.
