Chuck Close's mosaic and tile works, including his pieces for the 86th St subway station in New York
Chuck Close (born 1940) likes to push the boundaries of techniques, processes and materials of figurative depiction, working with various collaborators to achieve his vision. His first public artwork, Subway Portraits, featured a series of 12 mosaic and tile artworks commissioned by the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority Arts & Design program in 2017.
This book presents Chuck Close's new series of mosaic artworks as well as related works, such as prints, tapestries and photographs. It also documents the production process of these works by fabricators Mosaika Art and Design and Magnolia Editions, as well as the 12 works they produced for the 86th St subway station in New York.
