Hilma af Klint

More about the book

Focusing on the visionary artist Hilma af Klint, this study reveals her groundbreaking abstract works, created before modernist pioneers like Kandinsky. After her death in 1944, af Klint's art remained private for decades, awaiting a time deemed suitable for public viewing. The book accompanies a major U.S. exhibition, exploring her life, influences, and the artistic context of her 1906 departure from figuration. It also highlights her spiritual aspirations for a temple to house her art, which resonates with the Guggenheim Museum's rotunda exhibition space.
