In this program, Celmins leads the viewer through her 2019-20 retrospective at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which featured six decades of her exquisitely detailed paintings, sculptures, drawings and prints depicting natural imagery, including ocean surfaces, desert floors, and night skies. Vija also reviews her photographs at her Soho studio, works on a woodcut print, and paints at her Water Mill studio. Offering commentary are the co-curators of the retrospective, Gary Garrels and Ian Alteveer, and Starr Figura, Curator of Drawings and Prints at the Museum of Modern Art.
