Marc Doyle: Meeting Chuck Close

Chuck Close © Biography.com

When GREAT MUSEUMS was producing its episode on the Museum of Modern Art, in NYC, I had the pleasure of spending a day with Chuck Close, interviewing him in his Greenwich Village studio. That day he shared w me a group of photos he had recently taken of President Obama, from which he was going to paint a portrait.

He was generous with his time, fun to be with, and brilliant in his observations. Chuck Close is a giant in the hyper-competitive contemporary art world and has been for decades.

And, he’s a serious artist.

I think you will enjoy this recent feature on him from The New York Times Magazine: http://nyti.ms/29xGjZH
