Vija Celmins

Art Press

This book was the very first monograph on the influential Latvian-born, Los Angeles and New York-based contemporary artist Vija Celmins. It features beautiful reproductions of nearly thirty years of work that includes the earliest photo-realist paintings, her precisely detailed drawings and prints of waves, celestial photographs, and spider webs, as well as the transcript of a lengthy interview between Celmins and artist Chuck Close.
