Customer Reviews

A fine pick for any serious art library holding.

Full-page black and white close-up portrait photos of notable personalities by Chuck Close pair with poems by Bob Holman in an artistic venture which concludes with a revealing interview with the two collaborators in A Couple of Ways of Doing Something. This piece represents the best in the world of text/photo interplays: artistic, striking, and revealing, it both visually and via written word offers some starting portraits and displays the power of collaborative art. A fine pick for any serious art library holding.

One of the most beautiul photography books in recent memory.

Lots of photobooks on the shelf and great images within. What is unique about this one is the layout and design. With the beauty of these images, and text which takes on its own life and shape, this has become my favorite book of 2006. The print quality is astounding to well represent the technique used in the photographs.Hasn't left the main veiwing area (coffee table) since it arrived.HIghly reccomended
