Artist's Studio

About the Show

Arne Glimcher presents this series on great living artists. The first film in the series focuses on Chuck Close, one of the major painters of the late 20th century. Following the artist into his studio, and listening as he speaks to his longtime friend and gallerist Arne Glimcher, we are able to present a relaxed and informal portrait of Chuck Close, his work and methods. From his studio space, to the hanging and unveiling of an exhibition, the film shows the artist at work and in conversation, discussing the people, places and artists that have influenced and inspired his work, his inspiration in nature, in the art of past civilizations and the work of artists still producing today.

The second episode features sculptor John Chamberlain.
