In the 2010s, Vija Celmins continued to solidify her reputation as a master of meticulous detail and contemplative natural scenes, maintaining a consistent focus on themes she had explored throughout her career. Her work during this decade often revisited subjects like the night sky, ocean surfaces, and spider webs, but with new techniques and mediums that expanded the depth and complexity of her oeuvre. One of the highlights of Celmins' work in the 2010s was her "Starfield" series. "Starfield" (2010), for instance, employed mezzotint and drypoint techniques to achieve velvety gradations from deep black to stark white, enhancing the sense of vastness and depth in her depictions of the night sky. This work, part of the collection at MoMA, showcases her ability to balance uncanny realism with a visible process of construction, creating a dynamic interplay between the image and its making (MoMA) (The Metropolitan Museum of Art). Celmins also explored new dimensions in her spider web series. Works like "Web #2" (2010-2011) continued to demonstrate her intricate attention to detail and her skill in capturing the delicate, almost ephemeral quality of spider webs. These pieces were created using mezzotint on Hahnemühle Copperplate paper, reflecting her ongoing interest in printmaking and her ability to render fine details with exceptional clarity (Art21). In addition to these series, Celmins' exhibitions in the 2010s often included retrospective views of her career. The exhibition "To Fix the Image in Memory" at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in 2019 provided a comprehensive overview of her work, featuring approximately 120 pieces from the 1960s through the 2010s. This retrospective highlighted her consistent themes and technical evolution, showcasing her paintings, drawings, sculptures, and prints that collectively emphasize her deep engagement with natural phenomena and the intricacies of perception (The Metropolitan Museum of Art) (Glenstone). Celmins' continued dedication to her craft and the themes that define her work have solidified her place as a significant figure in contemporary art. Her ability to revisit familiar subjects with fresh perspectives and techniques ensures that her art remains both timeless and continually relevant.
