Catalogue Note
In 2005, Chuck Close began collaborating with Magnolia Editions’ Magnolia Tapestry Project (MTP) to create a series of limited-edition woven textiles. Applying contemporary computer analytics to the traditional style of Jacquard weaving, MTP facilitated Close’s exploration of portraiture in a new medium. Through a complicated interplay of tiny modules of colored thread, Close and MTP achieved an optical assemblage of color and texture that result in a singular image. Similar to Close’s works on paper and canvas, Self Portrait/Color highlights the artist’s extraordinary technical ability to manipulate visual elements and utilize textural nuance in the creation of an unmistakable self-portrait.
