Photogravure, aquatint, photo etching and drypoint in colors, on Hahnemühle Copperplate paper - One of the 7 SP (Special Proofs) aside from the edition of 65 pc + 10 AP // Night Sky 1 (Reversed) by Vija Celmins, created in 2002, is a mixed media limited edition print using techniques like photogravure, aquatint, photo etching, and drypoint on Hahnemühle Copperplate paper. Measuring 53.3 x 62.2 cm, this piece is one of the seven special proofs (SP), distinct from the main edition of 65 and additional artist proofs. The artwork presents a detailed and serene depiction of the night sky, filled with a myriad of tiny, scattered stars against a reversed pale background, showcasing Celmins' meticulous attention to detail and her ability to translate natural elements into a contemplative and minimalistic composition. The texture and subtle depth created by the varied printmaking techniques invite viewers to immerse themselves in the vastness and quietude of the night.

What is photorealism?
Photorealism is a genre of art or artistic movement that involves drawing, painting, and other graphic media in which the artist carefully studies a photograph and attempts to reproduce it as realistically as possible in another medium. While the term can broadly describe any artwork created in this manner, it specifically refers to a group of painters and paintings in the U.S. art movement that emerged in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
