Direct gravure etching. Emily/Fingerprint (1986) by Chuck Close is a direct gravure etching that exemplifies the artist’s meticulous engagement with portraiture and process. Depicting a frontal, tightly cropped portrait of a woman with curly hair and an unwavering gaze, the image reveals Close’s signature technique of building form through repeated marks—in this case, fingerprint impressions. The tonal variations created by layered prints of the artist’s own fingerprints generate remarkable depth and realism while foregrounding the physical act of making. Measuring 54 1/8 x 41 inches and issued in an edition of 45, the work bridges photorealism and conceptual art, emphasizing both likeness and material presence.

Sometimes referred to as Conceptualism, this is an art form where the idea(s) or concept(s) behind the work take precedence over material concerns and traditional aesthetics.
