Published by Brand X Editions, Ltd., New York, printed by Mid-Mark Studio, Brooklyn. Image: 23 7/8 x 18 3/4in (60.7 x 47.6cm) / Sheet 34 x 27 1/2in (86.3 x 69.8cm). Kara (2012) by Chuck Close is a felt stamp edition created using oil paint and screenprint on handmade Twinrocker paper. The portrait depicts the artist Kara Walker in Close’s signature pixelated style, composed of hundreds of individually colored circular stamps. Up close, the image appears abstract, but from a distance, it resolves into a highly detailed and expressive likeness. Close's process-oriented approach merges photorealism with abstraction, emphasizing the materiality of printmaking. Measuring nearly 86 × 70 cm, this signed and numbered edition of 40 honors a fellow artist known for her own impactful visual narratives.
