Once considered an outsider artist, after her show at the
Guggenheim Museum was seen by more than half-a-mil-lion visitors,
Hilma af Klint firmly established her place in art history. She has
also been the subject of documenta-ry films and biographies. In
2013, Iris Muller-Westermann organized the first institutional
exhibition of af Klint's work. Now she presents us with the latest
information and research in an extensive survey show at the
Moder-na Museet in Malmoe. Of crucial importance is the issue of
spirituality in af Klint's painting-how she managed to translate
both the material and the immaterial world into a pictorial vision.
The accompanying exhibition catalogue is the first to investigate,
from a variety of perspectives, the question of how this
trailblazing abstract artist linked her painting to a higher
consciousness. Essays by leading historians of theosophy and a
quantum physicist, among others, provide enlightening insight into
a world in which both the visualization of atoms and spiritual
seances alike became artistic material-a world that fascinates us
even more than ever.
