every great artist has a mental or physical handicap i know i do but since artists nowadays get a lot of money they get by with technology.I admire CHUCK Close's spirit.

The wheelchair was called iBOT. It was invented by and used the same gyro technology as the Segway. They sold for something like $30,000. Johnson & Johnson marketed them but has pulled them from production.

great concept but not a suitable solution for a full-time wheelchair user with limited abilities.

Why is he in a wheelchair.. I don't know much about him.

[Danny011189]

I think he had a stroke? i dont know much either, one of should check out wikipedia :p

[bugjones30]

Does that use a counter balance similar to a Seqway?

[waddleduckie1]

Wow, Nice sets of wheels! He must be really thrilled to use this wheel chair.

[ryanaintg2y]

wow my bro just mentioned reading about him in his 6th grade anthology!

[dreyfoostheatra]

i saw chuck close at an art museum in new york and i hadnt even realized it until later. one of his pieces was on that floor too! i wish i couldve gotten his autograph or talked to him.

[honeybunnylover1]

on November 2004 i saw him in the Metropolitan Museum and his painting was there the one titled "Lucas" I think, I did talk to him a bit but didn't get his autograph or photograph as well. Apparently nobody else knew he was there until when I said "Oh, Mr. Close!". I shook his hand and his grip was a bit weak so I figured an autograph maybe too much to ask for.

[Ricksniffles]

Chuck, that is pretty amazing! You are so talented. Olga

[Azorino]

its incredible is this based on gyroscope segway tech? Its fantastic. And of course operated by my hero!

[jameskalm]

Chuck, that's fantastic. How do you balance like that? In the meantime, back to painting, (Bill Clinton portrait, that's good, ha ha.) love the work JK.
