Watch history get rewritten as Swedish artist Hilma af Klint finally takes her rightful place in history as a pioneer of modern art. Over a century after her first boldly colourful painting got eclipsed by Wassily Kandinsky, af Klint became the subject of a monumental Guggenheim exhibition, “Paintings for the Future”—at last getting the credit she deserves. Unveiling the complex and mind-blowing oeuvre of a visionary artist, Beyond the Visible investigates why it took so long for af Klint to be recognized, the stubborn mechanisms behind canonization, and the art world’s reluctance to give a woman what is fair and deserved.
