Anne Sassoon Reviews Hilma af Klint Exhibition at Serpentine Galleries

Anne Sassoon authored a review of Hilma af Klint's exhibition at Serpentine Galleries, published on May 6, 2016. The Swedish artist's abstract paintings, created decades before Kandinsky's recognized works, were showcased in London. Af Klint's spiritualist-inspired compositions challenged established art historical narratives. Her visionary approach to abstraction predated many male counterparts in the early 20th century. The Serpentine Galleries presentation brought renewed attention to her pioneering contributions. Sassoon's critical analysis examined the metaphysical dimensions of af Klint's artistic practice. The exhibition highlighted the artist's extensive body of work produced between 1906 and 1915. This London showing followed growing international recognition for the previously overlooked Swedish painter.
