Hilma af Klint: Future Now

Coinciding with the closing weeks of the seminal exhibition Hilma af Klint: Paintings for the Future at the Guggenheim Museum in New York, please join us at Scandinavia House for a conversation about the work of one of art history’s foremost pioneers. Featuring panelists Ulrika af Klint, Christine Burgin, Michael Gomes, David Max Horowitz, Ann McCoy, and Eddie Stern, the panel Hilma af Klint: FUTURE NOW provides a forum to learn more about the symbolic language in this celebrated artist’s work, while examining both spiritual and esoteric references from a variety of perspectives. Hilma af Klint anticipated that her paintings would be understood in the future; is that future now?
