Once considered an outsider artist, after her show at the Guggenheim Museum was seen by more than half-a-mil-lion visitors, Hilma af Klint firmly established her place in art history. She has also been the subject of documenta-ry films and biographies. In 2013, Iris Müller-Westermann organized the first institutional exhibition of af Klint’s work. Now she presents us with the latest information and research in an extensive survey show at the Moder-na Museet in Malmö. Of crucial importance is the issue of spirituality in af Klint’s painting―how she managed to translate both the material and the immaterial world into a pictorial vision. The accompanying exhibition catalogue is the first to investigate, from a variety of perspectives, the question of how this trailblazing abstract artist linked her painting to a higher consciousness. Essays by leading historians of theosophy and a quantum physicist, among others, provide enlightening insight into a world in which both the visualization of atoms and spiritual séances alike became artistic material―a world that fascinates us even more than ever.

2013年，Iris Müller-Westermann举办了Klint作品的首场机构展览。现在，在Malmö的现代博物馆举办的一场全面的概述展中，她向我们介绍了最近的信息和研究。至关重要的是Klint画作中的灵性问题——她是如何做到将物质世界和非物质世界都变成绘画幻象的。随附的展览目录首次从各个角度研究了这位开拓性的抽象画家如何将自己的绘画与更高意识联系起来的问题。
