The newly opened Virginia Museum of Fine Arts is now showing Chuck Close: People Who Matter To Me. The exhibition is on view in Focus Gallery 3 until October 17, 2010 and presents works by the artist spanning from 1974 to the present.

Chuck Close is an American painter and photographer known for his massive portraits. I’ve had the honor of meeting the artist on a few occasions at previous Art Basel events and I greatly admire his work. This one is a must see! Visit the VMFA websitefor schedule and hours.
