This event has ended.
Senior & Shopmaker presents Vija Celmins: Recent Prints, an exhibition of etchings in which the artist explores her enduring themes of night skies and ocean surfaces. Produced over a three-year period with Celmins’ longtime collaborators, master printers Doris Simmelink and Chris Sukimoto, the prints, with their careful exploration of process and mark-making, are among her most masterful to date.
Vija Celmins has been the subject of numerous international museum exhibitions, including a solo drawing show at the Museum für Gegenwartskunst, Basel, in 2001, and a print retrospective at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in 2002. The Centre Pompidou, Paris, organized a drawing retrospective in 2006, which traveled to the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles, in 2007. In recent years, Celmins has been the subject of solo exhibitions at the Menil Collection, Houston, Texas (2010); the Ludwig Museum, Cologne, Germany (2011); the Saint Louis Art Museum (2014); and Secession, Vienna, Austria (2015). A retrospective of the artist’s paintings, drawings, objects and prints, Vija Celmins: To Fix the Image in Memory will open at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art in December 2018.
