Vija Celmins: To Fix the Image in Memory

Second printing, 2018. 272 pages. Book measures 9.75 x 12 inches. Fine in Fine dust jacket. As New condition. Edited by Gary Garrels, with contributions by Ian Alteveer, Briony Fer, Russell Ferguson, Suzanne Hudson, Frances Jacobus-Parker, Meredith A. Brown and Nancy Lim. The first major publication on the artist in twenty years, this comprehensive and lavishly illustrated volume explores the full range of Celmins’s work produced since the 1960s—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. Published in association with the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
