About this event

Discover the life and work of artist Hilma af Klint in this lecture, as part of the programme for Hilma af Klint: Artist and Visionary. Hilma af Klint was an exceptional artist in many respects.

In the 19th century, she was an award-winning painter who studied at the academy, exhibited her paintings, accepted commissions, and travelled as far as Italy to further her studies. Upon her return, at the dawn of the 20th century, she began work on her spiritual oeuvre, which would occupy her throughout her life. In the 21st century, she achieved worldwide fame for her groundbreaking work. This lecture will guide you through the crucial stages and turning points in the artist's life and legacy.

Organised in collaboration with The Hilma af Klint Foundation.

Presented by Key Capital at 25.
