3 x Abstraction
The conventional history of abstraction boldly and justifiably touts the feats of Malevich and Barnett Newman's awe-inspiring zips. Yet there are more reticent but equally pioneering practices that remain just as relevant to contemporary art. This new catalogue recovers remarkable work by the artists Hilma af Klint and Emma Kunz, and places their oeuvres in dialogue with Agnes Martin's intricate grids. Kunz's healing drawings and af Klint's work, bound up with mysticism and the occult, reveal an underemphasized genealogy that is clearly worth reassessing.
