Hilma af Klint's daring abstractions exert a mystical magnetism

When Swedish artist Hilma af Klint died in 1944 at the age of 81, she left behind more than 1,000 paintings and works on paper that she had kept largely private during her lifetime. Believing the world was not yet ready for her art, she stipulated that it should remain unseen for another 20 years. But only in recent decades has the public had a chance to reckon with af Klint's radically abstract painting practice―one which predates the work of Vasily Kandinsky and other artists widely considered trailblazers of modernist abstraction. Her boldly colorful works, many of them large-scale, reflect an ambitious, spiritually informed attempt to chart an invisible, totalizing world order through a synthesis of natural and geometric forms, textual elements and esoteric symbolism.

Accompanying the first major survey exhibition of the artist's work in the United States, Hilma af Klint: Paintings for the Future represents her groundbreaking painting series while expanding recent scholarship to present the fullest picture yet of her life and art. Essays explore the social, intellectual and artistic context of af Klint's 1906 break with figuration and her subsequent development, placing her in the context of Swedish modernism and folk art traditions, contemporary scientific discoveries, and spiritualist and occult movements. A roundtable discussion among contemporary artists, scholars and curators considers af Klint's sources and relevance to art in the 21st century. The volume also delves into her unrealized plans for a spiral-shaped temple in which to display her art―a wish that finds a fortuitous answer in the Guggenheim Museum's rotunda, the site of the exhibition.

Hilma af Klint (1862–1944) is now regarded as a pioneer of abstract art. Though her paintings were not seen publicly until 1987, her work from the early 20th century predates the first purely abstract paintings by Kandinsky, Mondrian and Malevich.

Today was such a beautiful day and the sun finally came up. Also, I broke my all-time step record (but didn't even come close to Serban's number of steps 😅) What's your step record?

As a native New Yorker, definitely do the Met!

Not only do they have the Creche, they also have an actual Egyptian Temple you can literally walk into (and unlike many museums, it was not stolen -- it was gifted by the Egyptian government when it had to be moved due to a dam being built), a lot of beautiful and interesting sculpture/painting/textile arts, and (for another month) an amazing exhibition on the Tudors. I spent a solid two hours in that not-very-large exhibit in October, and it is absolutely worth seeing.

The Met is a museum where every time you visit, you will find something new -- from the American Wing Period Rooms to the painting of Cupid peeing or ejaculating on Venus (it’s debatable which) to everything in the Costume Institute. I have wandered through and found something new every single time I’ve visited, and I’ve probably been there close to 50 times.

Also, if you want to go uptown, the Met Cloisters is great, but probably better when it’s nicer out.

The Guggenheim is... odd. Honestly, if you go, go to see the building (it’s really rather cool from the inside) and just how weird modern art can be. Also, the small collection of older art. It’s not a museum you need to visit a ton.

If you’d rather do something smaller, the Frick is quite nice.

I also recommend the MOMA, particularly if you like Van Gogh. Last time I was there, they had a great Magritte exhibit, but I think that’s closed.

If you prefer history, the Museum of Natural History is pretty good. The gemstones exhibit is quite nice, and you can’t go wrong with dinosaurs. Also, if you like sharks, they have a good exhibit at the moment. And their planetarium is lovely (just make sure you use the bathroom before you get in line).

But if you have to pick one museum, the Met is the one I’d go for.

Hey Sam, happy holidays to you and the cryptids! I am traveling to NYC in a few weeks with my mom; neither of us have ever been. We have 3 days and among our many tourist activities, probably have time for only one museum. I feel like I remember you have Opinions About Museums and which ones are good versus not worth the long wait times, can you remind me? (Any other recs welcome as well!)

I'm not entirely sure I'm the most qualified to answer this particular one -- my opinions about museums are mostly about Chicago's, I've only been to New York the once. When I went, I was there specifically to go to the Met 5th Avenue. I did also go to the Jewish Museum while I was there, and I enjoyed both, so I'd recommend either one; the Jewish Museum is free on Saturdays (or used to be) but because of the sabbath, the restaurant is only open for preordered, pre-set meals, and the gift shop is closed. Still, it's a great museum and well worth admission, especially since they have a really nice combination of permanent and rotating exhibits.

I really loved the Met 5th Avenue, and this time of year they have the Neapolitan Creche on exhibit, which if you're big on Christmas, miniatures, Extreme Baroque Decoration, or just really detailed sculpture, is an excellent way to blow an hour or two. (That link is from 2018 because it's a better photo than this year's, but it's absolutely on exhibit this year. Here's my photo of it.) You can spend a day at the Met and still not see everything, so you really get a great bang for your buck.

(I do have an Opinion on the Guggenheim Museum in New York but that's just because I think it's hideous, I've not been inside it.)

Other reccs -- If you have the time or are in the area, Shalom Japan is a spectacularly good Jewish-Japanese fusion joint in Brooklyn. Momofuku noodle bar is also really good but was hard to get into even when I was there (I got there right as it opened and there was already a line).

Readers, if you have thoughts, feel free to add them! Remember to do it in comments or reblogs, as I don't post asks sent in response to other asks.

Downtown revamp: Deh'Javu Modern Art Museum (exterior) (Interior parts 1, 2, and 3 here)

I know this museum's original layout is iconic, but I honestly dislike it due to routing and whatnot. So I took a lotttt of liberty with this remodel's shell. In exchange I made it almost CC free, save a few recolors and the angled OMSPs.

I did preserve the iconic flaming toilet and ground floor! And used it and the Guggenheim museum in NY as inspiration for the shell and layout.
