Description

Hilma af Klint Catalogue Raisonné Volume V: Geometric Series and Other Works 1917–1920 sheds light on Hilma af Klint, now regarded as a pioneer of abstract art. Her work from the early 20th century predates the first purely abstract paintings by renowned artists such as Kandinsky, Mondrian, and Malevich.

For the first time, af Klint's works, totalling approximately 1,600, have been collected in a Catalogue Raisonné. Af Klint's artwork is best appreciated in series, often depicting specific themes. This ground-breaking publication, divided into seven volumes, facilitates this understanding. Throughout her life, af Klint employed research-oriented methods to comprehend the spiritual contexts of the world. She explored plants and other objects in their geometrical forms, believing that nature was perfect and humans simply needed to observe it more closely. This concept is thoroughly examined in Volume V.

Produced with the permission of the Hilma af Klint Foundation and featuring introductions by Daniel Birnbaum and Kurt Almqvist, a separate slip cased edition containing all seven volumes will be available in autumn 2021.
