€18.50
Years before artists like Kandinsky and Mondrian claimed to have invented abstract art, a Swedish artist had already created more than 1000 strikingly beautiful abstract paintings! This is the amazing story of Hilma af Klint. Largely ignored during her lifetime, her work exploded onto the world stage with an exhibition at the Guggenheim in NYC in 2019. She is now recognised as the mother of abstract art.
