Fondation Beyeler evening event, 15/07/2025
The Fondation Beyeler in Riehen/Basel presents a comprehensive solo exhibition of the American artist Vija Celmins (*1938, Riga) from June 15, 2025.
Vija Celmins is one of the most important artists of her generation.
The exhibition presents a selection of Celmins' works created from the 1960s to the present day, enabling visitors to experience the magical effect of her visual worlds. Initially, Celmins concentrated on everyday objects, as well as scenes of disaster and war. Later, she turned to surface structures, spider webs, oceans and deserts, and later to the night sky and galaxies in particular. Celmins' art is characterized by a visual language that is both subtle and powerful.
