  • The Museum of Modern Art for Immediate Release July 1993
    The Museum of Modern Art For Immediate Release July 1993 A PRINT PROJECT BY CHUCK CLOSE July 24 - September 28, 1993 An exhibition presenting American artist Chuck Close's most recent print project, Alex/Reduction Block, opens at The Museum of Modern Art on July 24, 1993. Organized by Andrea Feldman, curatorial assistant, Department of Prints and Illustrated Books, A PRINT PROJECT BY CHUCK CLOSE comprises fifteen large- scale screenprints that depict Close's friend and fellow artist Alex Katz. The screenprints replicate all stages of what was originally a reduction linoleum-cut print. The exhibition, on view through September 28, examines the complex process of printmaking and offers an in-depth view of Close's artistic conception. The reduction linoleum-cut technique requires the artist to use a single block for the entire printing process, in contrast to the conventional method of cutting separate blocks for each color in the print. Close became intrigued by the process after studying prints made by Picasso in the late 1950s. When Close anticipated problems with the paper he had chosen for his reduction linoleum-cut project, he printed a set of the states of the work on mylar, which he later used as templates for the screenprints on view in the exhibition. Ms. Feldman states, "Over the two year period that it took to complete this impressive project, Close ran into many technical problems that he transformed into artistic challenges. Without a flaw, Close maneuvered through the obstacle course that the project presented and created an image of enormous power and intensity.

  • A Guide for Holders of the International Association of Art Card Prepared with Contributions from the Slovak Union of Visual Arts (Slovenská Výtvarná Únia) 2017
    A guide for holders of the International Association of Art card Prepared with contributions from the Slovak Union of Visual Arts (Slovenská výtvarná únia) 2017 The International Association of Art (IAA/AIAP) is a non-governmental organization working in official partnership with UNESCO. Its objectives are to stimulate international cooperation among visual artists of all countries, nations or peoples, to improve the socio-economic position of artists nationally and internationally, and to defend their material and moral rights. The IAA issues identity cards to professional visual artists. This card allows free or discounted admission to many galleries and museums in countries around the world. The card is a tool for the lifelong education of artists in their professional artistic research. These institutions, large or small, recognize the benefit they gain from enabling the artists, like art critics and journalists, to visit exhibitions, art events and collections of art, to carry on research, and to gain inspiration. As a member within the IAA network, CARFAC National issues IAA cards exclusively to Canadian professional artists that are members of CARFAC upon request. Only National Committees of the IAA may issue the card. Where to use the IAA card This document includes a chart detailing selected institutions that offer free or discounted admission prices, or other perks to IAA card holders while travelling abroad. This information was obtained from surveying recent users of the card and IAA National Committees worldwide, and is updated regularly – most recently in 2017 by the Slovak Union of Visual Arts (SUVA). Users will find that different areas in Europe are more receptive to the card than others.

But that doesn’t mean you receive less from the picture. Art is very multifaceted that way.” Below, we share excerpts from the book that highlight nine eclectic artists who have amazed and inspired Katz over the years.

    Teacher Resource Notes – KS3-KS5 Summer Season 19 May – 23 September 2012 Alex Katz: Give Me Tomorrow Alex Katz On The Tate Collection 1928: A Cornish Encounter These notes are designed to support KS3-5 teachers in engaging students as they explore the art work. As well as factual information they provide starting points for discussion, ideas for simple practical activities and suggestions for extended work that could stem from a gallery visit. To book a gallery visit for your group call 01736 796226 or email [email protected]. Season Overview This season Tate St Ives is showing paintings and collages by Alex Katz, plus an eclectic display of works which Katz has chosen from the Tate Collection in Lower Gallery 2. In the Studio there is a one-room archival display 1928: A Cornish Encounter, which documents this important year in the history of St Ives art. The display of Katz's work is a selected survey from the mid 1950s to 2011. Alex Katz is 85 and had his first solo show in New York in 1954. His paintings at Tate St Ives explore themes including family portraits, friends and social relationships, style and the American Dream, flowers, seascapes and beach life. Katz's process involves making small studies from life, which he scales up using the traditional charcoal cartoon and pin- hole 'pouncing' method, then paints the final large scale work in one go, working wet on wet. Katz's paintings can be regarded as an antithesis to his contemporary American Abstract Expressionists; Katz chose to represent the cultural context of New York style, fashion and glamour.

  • Exhibition Explores the Inverse of the Landscape in My Room: Artists Paint the Interior 1950-Now Opens May 18, 2018
    Exhibition Explores the Inverse of the Landscape In My Room: Artists Paint the Interior 1950-Now opens May 18, 2018 CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – The Fralin Museum of Art at the University of Virginia presents In My Room: Artists Paint the Interior 1950-Now, May 18-Sept. 30, 2018. The exhibition looks at the inverse of the landscape: the interior. Landscape painting, a common genre in western painting, is understood as a window onto the world thanks to artist and theorist Leon Battista Alberti and his ideas about the picture plane known as Alberti’s Window. After the Industrial Revolution, however, modern art erupted with the interior. Notably, modern artists began depicting windows into other rooms instead of painting views of the outside world. “The interior space has an ability to prompt the viewer to ask questions and to view a space with new perspective,” said Matthew McLendon, director and chief curator of the Fralin Museum of Art. “In an untitled work by Alex Katz, for example, a bed in disarray invites the questions whether someone has left in a rush, to where and why? Interior with Doorway by Richard Diebenkorn uses light and shadow in juxtaposition creating a sculptural feel to everyday objects.” Artists continued to paint indoor spaces throughout the 20th century for a variety of psychological, interpersonal and biographical reasons. Architecture, design and the still-life inform the paintings in this exhibition, as does the persistent theme of the artist’s studio. The exhibition raises myriad questions upon which to reflect and will address how representations of interior spaces have changed and evolved over time.

  • Chuck Close Art Kaleidoscope Foundation
    CHUCK CLOSE ART KALEIDOSCOPE FOUNDATION/Color/???/116 Mins./Not Rated Featuring: Chuck Close, Brice Marden, Robert Storr, Dorothea Rockburne, Lucas Samaras, Robert Rauschenberg, Philip Glass, Arne Glimcher, Kiki Smith, Elizabeth Murray, Alex Katz, Janet Fish, Kirk Varnedoe. Credits: Produced and directed by Marion Cajori. Directors of photography: Mead Hunt, Ken Kobland, David Leitner. Edited by Cajori, Kobland. Music by Philip Glass, performed b Bruce Levingston. An Art Kaleidoscope Foundation production. Through the famous portrait artist’s subjects, filmmaker Marion Cajori crafts a clever biographical documentary of Chuck Close. Marion Cajori died before completing Chuck Close, her documentary portrait of an artist known for his unique portraits and self-portraits. In what could only have been a conscious nod to her subject, Cajori’s cinematic construct cleverly imitates Close’s signature hieroglyphic boxes, which he paints and superimposes upon a photograph. Abstract artist Brice Marden says in the documentary that with Close’s portraits “you add up all the details and you get the soul,” and the same can be said for Cajori’s film—through a series of vignettes, interviews with Close’s friends and family, the filmmaker reveals the soul of the portraitist. Cajori pursues Close and his work in the same way that someone might approach one of his portraits, which are large canvases of his subject’s heads. She leans in to show Close bringing the brush to the paint, and Close painting an uneven line or a protozoa-like shape on the canvas. Then she steps back to show completed portraits, and the actual faces of Close’s subjects, and sometimes a long shot in the studio where Close, in a wheelchair, is the focal point of the shot.
