Beyond the Visible: Hilma Af Klint

*Please read our important information about our Covid-19 safety precautions before visiting.*

The first abstract artist was a woman, misjudged and concealed, Hilma Klint rocks the art world with her mind-blowing oeuvre.

Hilma af Klint was an abstract artist before the term existed, a visionary, trailblazing figure who, inspired by spiritualism, modern science, and the riches of the natural world around her, began in 1906 to reel out a series of huge, colourful, sensual, strange works without precedent in painting. The paintings here are integrated with the sublime natural environment that inspired them, to which Klint added her fascination with science, contrasts (men and women, black and white, heat and cold), and humanity, its past and future.

A hundred years later she is the biggest discovery who is attracting millions of fans worldwide. The subject of a recent smash retrospective at the Guggenheim Museum, af Klint was for years an all-but-forgotten figure in art historical discourse.

Her work inspired some most celebrated contemporary artists like Josef Albers, Paul Klee, Cy Twombly, Andy Warhol, Mondrian and Kandinsky.
