Vija Celmins makes the infinite intimate ✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In these works from the #UBSArtCollection, the artist captures the quiet immensity of the cosmos, with stars and galaxies delicately rendered in graphite.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Inspired by man’s first steps on the moon in 1969, Celmins took a special interest in constellations and space, continuing her exploration of drawing through this subject.
Read more about Celmins’ practice on ubs.com/art and see the works on display at FondationBeyeler in one of the most comprehensive solo exhibitions of the artist’s work in Europe.
