Direct gravure etching. Chuck Close’s Leslie/Fingerprint (1986) is a direct gravure etching that transforms a photographic portrait into a meticulously constructed field of fingerprints. Measuring 54 1/2 x 40 1/2 inches and produced in an edition of 45, the print exemplifies Close’s systematic approach to portraiture during the 1980s. The monumental face emerges from thousands of swirling, inked impressions, each fingerprint functioning as both mark and module. From a distance, the composition resolves into a sharply focused likeness; up close, it dissolves into abstract whorls and loops. By merging identity with touch, Close underscores themes of individuality, repetition, and the tension between mechanical reproduction and the artist’s hand.

What is conceptual art?
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. Many conceptual artworks can be created by anyone simply by following written instructions. The concept or idea is the most essential aspect of the artwork.
