Gallery Talk: Chuck Close: Self-Portraits 1967–2005

In the 1970s, Twin Cities photographer JoAnn Verburg created a visiting artist program for Polaroid Corporation that introduced Chuck Close to the newly invented large-format Polaroid camera. Join Verburg and a Walker curator for a talk about Close’s large-scale photo work and a discussion of the artist’s self-examination over time. Verburg’s photographs are collected by institutions worldwide, including New York’s Museum of Modern Art, where she will be having a retrospective in 2007.
