Book Presentation:
This beautifully designed catalogue spans Close's career through film, television and theatre, with a survey of beautifully crafted costumes from some of her most iconic performances. In 2017 acclaimed film and stage actress Glenn Close donated her costume collection to Sidney and Lois Eskenazi School of Art, Architecture + Design. The Art of the Character: Highlights from the Glenn Close Costume Collection is an exhibition and catalogue at the Sidney and Lois Eskenazi Museum of Art at Indiana University, in partnership with the Sage Fashion Collection. This beautifully designed catalogue spans Close's career through film, television and theatre, with a survey of beautifully crafted costumes from some of her most iconic performances, such as roles in Fatal Attraction, Dangerous Liaisons and 101 Dalmatians. Great designers featured include James Acheson, Ann Roth and Anthony Powell. "All my costumes are the product of an informed, passionate collaboration," Close said. " … And I'd like them to gain an insight into the creative process, which is basically the thing that keeps any artist's soul alive: the actual process."

Press Reviews:
From the black leather jacket in "Fatal Attraction" to her zebra-print coat dress from "101 Dalmatians," Glenn Close has more than 56 costumes and accessories from characters she has played …..Close assisted in curating…to help students understand the art of developing a character with a focus on the creativity and skills of the designers and makers… ― Variety

……designs from "Dangerous Liaisons," "Fatal Attraction," "101 Dalmatians," and [a] glorious, rose-festooned creation from that film's justly forgotten (except for the costumes) sequel, "102 Dalmatians," designed by Anthony Powell. That movie was more than 20 years ago, but the coatdress still looks fresh as … well, a rose. ― The Seattle Times

Inside Glenn Close's Magnificent Costume Collection…With the help of longtime collaborators Ann Roth and James Nadeaux, Close shares some of her favorite costumes from films like Maxie, The World According to Garp, and 101 Dalmatians. ― Vanity Fair
