Hilma af Klint: Women Excluded from Abstract Art

Why it matters: The exhibition redefines the historical understanding of abstract art's origins by including previously excluded female artists.
- Hilma af Klint will be the subject of an exhibition highlighting the exclusion of women from abstract art.
- The exhibition will challenge the traditional historical accounts of abstract art's development, which have largely overlooked female pioneers like af Klint.
The upcoming 'Who was Hilma?' exhibition aims to shed light on the historical exclusion of women, specifically Hilma af Klint, from the narrative of abstract art. This exhibition seeks to re-evaluate her significant contributions and challenge the male-dominated historical accounts of the movement's origins.
