  • Catalogue Essay

    “Vija Celmins’s mature work is a repeated image of uninhabitability, without foothold or air. It depicts space liquefied or rarefied, and further carbonized in the rendering. It is a space of drowning or asphyxiation, and, though without fantasy’s comforts, of dreams.” – Nancy Princenthal, Parkett No. 44, 1995
