| book description |

The final works of the photorealist pioneer, made with a palette of only three colors Since the 1970s, Chuck Close (1940â€“2021) has been known for his innovative approach to conceptual portraiture, systematically transposing his subjectsâ€™ likenesses from photographs into gridded paintings. Published on the occasion of Pace Galleryâ€™s first exhibition of the artistâ€™s work since his death in 2021, Red, Yellow, and Blue spotlights Closeâ€™s final body of paintings, which employ a palette of only three colors. Layering transparent glazes of red, yellow and blue paint, Close created an effect of abstract likeness entirely different from that of his previous work. Alongside studio photography and images of Closeâ€™s mosaic works, this volume features a previously unpublished 2018 interview between Close and Cindy Shermanâ€”originally commissioned by the Brooklyn Railâ€”as well as a new critical essay by Carter Ratcliff, which considers Closeâ€™s final works in depth. An additional essay by Barbara Knappmeyer examines the artistâ€™s portraits in the context of facial recognition technology.
