  • HILMA AF KLINT: THE COMPLETE CATALOGUE RAISONNÉ: VOLUMES I-VII

Not all artists' oeuvre can, will, or deserve to be collected in a Catalogue Raisonné. But Hilma af Klint's art not only deserves it -- it demands it -- since her oeuvre holds a message and reveals a philosophy.

For the first time ever, the reader is able to review Hilma af Klint's work in the order she herself established in 1938, in this historical document divided into seven volumes. The paintings are presented in the order her friend, anthroposophist Olof Sundström, eventually numbered them in 1945, on assignment by Erik af Klint (1901-1981). Erik af Klint was the sole heir to af Klint's oeuvre, as well as the sole donor to and founder of the Hilma af Klint Foundation in 1972. The works are printed in an exclusive edition designed by Patric Leo. 'Here we can all follow the chronological development and hopefully understand a bit more about af Klint's elusive, esoteric image-world. It is a tool that facilitates research, and fundamentally establishes the artist's work - all in all, a true deed for culture.' Birgitta Rubin, Dagens Nyheter
