| book description |

Vija Celmins creates intricate paintings and drawings of galaxies, oceans, and natural textures with a restrained palette, drawing viewers into their subtle beauty. This catalog showcases 90 artworks, artist commentaries, and insights from renowned writers and artists. Vija Celmins is a master of subtle visual power. She is best known for her captivating paintings and drawings depicting galaxies, surfaces of the moon, desert floors and oceans as well as spider webs. Her works are not monumental; they are painted with a restrained palette and defy quick vision. But once you get involved with them, your gaze gets caught up in them and they unfold their fascination and great beauty.. The catalog presents all of the approximately 90 exhibited artworks as well as a selection of documentary photographs. Several commentaries by the artist on her works are inserted between the image pages, most of them published for the first time. Contributions by renowned authors and artists such as Julian Bell, Teju Cole, Rachel Cusk, Marlene Dumas and Robert Gober provide new perspectives on the artist's impressive oeuvre.
