"The artist Chuck Close, famed for his oversize portraits that hang on the walls of museums and private collections worldwide, has been accused of inappropriate conduct by women who say he lured them into posing nude and made personal and suggestive remarks, violating an unwritten code of professionalism between artists and live models."

"Artist Julia Fox tells Huffington Post she went to Close’s studio to pose for photos, but “it caught me off guard when he insisted I take my clothes off.” Fox says when she removed her clothes Close, 77, told her, “Your pussy looks delicious.”

Another artist and art teacher, Langdon Graves, told The New York Times that she was excited to be invited to Close's studio.

But when she got there, he “asked me to take my clothes off. Then he started telling me about sexual acts that he and a local waitress perform on each other.”
