For Women's History Month, you can't do better than the science and spirit, mind and matter, micro and macro of 'Hilma af Klint: Paintings for the Future,' published by @guggenheim⁠ ⁠ Curator Tracey Bashkoff describes af Klint's most important series, 'The Paintings for the Temple:' "The cycle focuses on the stages of life and humanity's connection to the universe. The mix of floral, geometric, and biomorphic forms with letters and inverted words creates a vocabulary of complex and shifting meanings, with which af Klint herself appears to have grappled. In these works a plant tendril may become a spiral, which in turn unfolds into a coiling line that then scribes a calligraphic letter—codes and words from an unknown language. Two pulsing orbs are, at the same time, microscopic eggs and intersecting solar systems. These forms continue to evade singular or stable interpretations—evolution, continuity, growth and progress all coexist with a return to the beginning of the oneness of the spirit. Science and spirit, mind and matter, the micro and the macro are simultaneously present."⁠ ⁠ Read more about the book via linkinbio.⁠ ⁠ Edited with text by Tracey Bashkoff. Contributions by Tessel M. Bauduin, Daniel Birnbaum, Briony Fer, Vivien Greene, David Max Horowitz, Andrea Kollnitz, Helen Molesworth, Julia Voss.⁠ ⁠ #hilmaafklint #paintingsforthefuture #hilma #womenshistory #womenshistorymonth #abstraction #spiritualism https://www.instagram.com/p/CbNevJzua_N/?utm_medium=tumblr

Photos are never going to capture my experience of Hilma af Klint’s work, but here’s me looking at one of her big paintings (tempera on paper). I first encountered images of her work on Tumblr ten years ago, and seeing them in person was (as it should be) something entirely different in the best possible way. My favorite pieces turned out to be a little series of watercolors that I didn’t know existed. I���m so grateful I got to see her work at the Guggenheim. #hilmaafklint #paintingsforthefuture (at Solomon R.

Lots of time working in museums, not enough time looking in museums. Took myself on an afterwork field trip to @guggenheim to see Hilma af Klint: Paintings for the Future. I feel immensely soothed. #hildaafklint #guggenheim #paintingsforthefuture #littlesnailismynewspiritanimal (at Solomon R.

Attention bookstores! 'Hilma af Klint: Paintings for the Future' is Back in Stock from @guggenheim !!⁠ ⁠ When the Swedish artist 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.⁠ ⁠ Published to accompany the first major survey exhibition of the artist's work in the US, '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.⁠ ⁠ Edited with text by Tracey Bashkoff.
