Pace is honored to present an exhibition of recent paintings, prints, and tapestries by Chuck Close. Highlights of the exhibition, Close’s first gallery show in New York since his 2009 exhibition at Pace, include never-before-seen paintings of Phil [Glass], 2011-2012. Phil, which stretches over 9 feet tall and 7 feet wide, is the artist’s most recent iteration of his close friend, who he has captured in numerous media since 1969, when the now famed composer was working as a studio assistant to Close’s classmate from Yale, Richard Serra.

Reblog of the day: We suggest finding joy by visiting Chuck Close’s current exhibit at Pace, now on view at 534 West 25th Street.
I interviewed artist Chuck Close, who told me how to find joy in life, for The One-Page Magazine in this week’s New York Times Magazine:
When I was in the hospital — I spent eight months in rehab, and I almost died — I decided that I was going to make sure I had some fun every single day. It might be a play or a movie, or it might be going by a gallery and seeing a show. Often, it’s eating.

#MuseumMonday: We suggest visiting Regarding Warhol: Sixty Artists, Fifty Years currently on view at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Alongside over forty-five works by Andy Warhol, on display are works by Chuck Close, David Hockney, and Hiroshi Sugimoto.
“Chuck and Andy,” by Andy Freeberg. Quite possibly the most touching picture I saw in some time.
Chuck Close discusses his portraits of women in the latest issue of Harper’s Bazaar. See portraits of Kiki Smith, Kara Walker, Cecily Brown, Lorna Simpson, and more TONIGHT at the opening of his latest show at Pace!
