Summary
This unique volume contains the last abstract images series made by Hilma af Klint in the 1920's which are previously unpublished in their entirety. These images are followed by groundbreaking essays based on lectures given in conjunction to the exhibition "Hilma af Klint - Painting the Unseen" at Serpentine Galleries in 2016. Briony Fer, David Lomas, Branden Joseph, Hans Ulrich Obrist and Daniel Birnbaum shed new light on the pioneering abstract artist af Klint and her importance for artists today. They also address a need for an evolved understanding of art history in the 21st century.
