Filmmaker Denis Villenueve and artist Vija Celmins will be honored at this year’s LACMA Art+Film Gala.
“Whether in painting, drawing, printmaking, or other media, Vija Celmins’s exacting renderings of the natural world blend realism and imagination, resulting in sublimely beautiful works,” said LACMA CEO and Wallis Annenberg director Michael Govan said in a statement Wednesday. “Likewise, Denis Villenueve’s meticulously crafted worlds give his films an unforgettable visual impact, from contemplative and cerebral stories to global blockbusters. It will be a privilege for LACMA to honor both of these artists and their extraordinary careers in November.”
