Hilma af Klint: Painting the Unseen
3 MARCH – 15 MAY 2016
SERPENTINE GALLERY
“Serpentine Galleries presents an exhibition of Swedish painter Hilma af Klint (1862 – 1944), who is now regarded as a pioneer of abstract art. While her paintings were not seen publicly until 1986, her work from the early 20th century pre-dates the first purely abstract paintings by Wassily Kandinsky, Piet Mondrian and Kazimir Malevich. This Serpentine exhibition focuses primarily on her body of work, The Paintings for the Temple, which dates from 1906-15. The sequential nature of Klint’s work is highlighted by the inclusion in the exhibition of numerous paintings from key series, some never before exhibited in the UK.”
