Here are two clips of the artist Vija Celmins talking about two pieces of artwork, one a painting and the other a small sculpture work. These clips were produced by the Museum of Modern Art in New York for their audio guides for visitors.
I saw "To Fix the Image in Memory" at the museum, which looked like a pile of small brown stones in a glass box, and I would have completely passed it by and not realized what she'd done if I hadn't listened to her talk about it in the audio guide.
Even though these clips are very short you get a good sense of her approach to making art.
