Celmins created three celestial prints for her project. "One print, inspired by the worn binding of an early 20th-century Japanese book, becomes the volume's mottled deep-blue cover; the second and third prints are images of the night sky, one of them negative--dark stars on a pale ground. For the text, Weinberger assembled a catalogue of descriptions of the stars drawn from around the world, and from an array of historical, literary, and anthropological sources."--D.A.P. catalog.
The Stars was originally a limited-edition livre d'artiste published this year by the Library Council of The Museum of Modern Art.
"This book is a facsimile of The Stars, the third project in Contemporary Editions, a series of limited-edition books and other printed works published by the Library Council of the Museum of Modern Art, New York"--Copyright page.
