"Revelatory and sublime...Her work remains conceptually open enough
for viewers to draw their own conclusions, insert their own meaning
and feel transported to other glorious worlds." -The New York Times
One of the most inventive artists of the twentieth century, Hilma
af Klint was a pioneer of abstraction. Her first forays into her
imaginative non-objective painting long preceded the work of
Kandinsky and Mondrian and radically mined the fields of science
and religion. Deeply interested in spiritualism and philosophy, af
Klint developed an iconography that explores esoteric concepts in
metaphysics, as demonstrated in Tree of Knowledge. This rarely seen
series of watercolors renders orbital, enigmatic forms, visual
allegories of unification and separateness, darkness and light,
beginning and end, life and death, and spirit and matter. Published
on the occasion of the exhibition Hilma af Klint: Tree of Knowledge
at David Zwirner New York in 2021 and David Zwirner London in 2022,
this catalogue features a text by the art historian Susan Aberth
examining af Klint's spiritual and anthroposophical influences.
With a conversation between the curator Helen Molesworth and the US
Poet Laureate Joy Harjo discussing connections between Tree of
Knowledge and native theories about plant knowledge, the
publication broadens the scope of philosophical interpretations of
af Klint's timeless work. Also included is a newly commissioned
essay by the celebrated af Klint scholar Julia Voss, a contribution
by the artist Suzan Frecon, and a text by art historian Max
Rosenberg that further develops the conversation around why af
Klint's work was not recognized in its time.
