Hilma af Klint: Paintings for the Future Most-Visited Exhibition in Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum’s History
Museum offers extended hours in celebration of the exhibition’s final days through April 23
(NEW YORK, NY—April 18, 2019)—The exhibition Hilma af Klint: Paintings for the Future has attracted more than 600,000 visitors since its opening, making it the most-visited show in the history of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. The survey of Hilma af Klint’s work is the first major solo exhibition in the United States devoted to the Swedish artist.
“For me, the 2018–19 art season will always belong to the Swedish painter Hilma af Klint (1862–1944). I say this simply as a measure of the psychic and historical shift caused by the Guggenheim Museum’s extraordinary full-dress retrospective of her nearly 40-year career.” —Roberta Smith, The New York Times
The concurrent and related exhibition, R. H. Quaytman: + x, Chapter 34, featuring new works by contemporary artist R. H. Quaytman, is also on view through April 23.
