| book description |

The beautiful catalogue that accompanies the critically-acclaimed exhibition currently on view at the Metropolitan MuseumÂ Best known for her striking drawings of ocean surfaces, begun in 1968 and revisited over many years both in drawings and paintings, Vija Celmins (b. 1938) has been creating exquisitely detailed renderings of natural imagery for more than five decades. The oceans were followed by desert floors and night skiesâ€”all subjects in which vast, expansive distances are distilled into luminous, meticulous, and mesmerizing small-scale artworks. For Celmins, this obsessive â€œredescribingâ€ of the world is a way to understand human consciousness in relation to lived experience. Â The first major publication on the artist in twenty years, this comprehensive and lavishly illustrated volume explores the full range of Celminsâ€™s work produced since the 1960sâ€”drawings and paintings as well as sculpture and prints. Scholarly essays, a narrative chronology, and a selection of excerpts from interviews with the artist illuminate her methods and techniques; survey her early years in Los Angeles, where she was part of a circle that included James Turrell and Ken Price; and trace the development of her work after she moved to New York City and befriended figures such as Robert Gober and Richard Serra.Â Published in association with the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art Exhibition Schedule: San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (12/15/18â€“03/31/19) Art Gallery of Ontario (05/04/19â€“08/04/19) The Met Breuer, New York (09/24/19â€“01/12/20)
