Produktbeschreibung

A limited-edition facsimile of the full portfolio of 46 botanical drawings by Hilma af Klint, each on its own sheet and encased in a deluxe clamshell case. Hilma af Klint's Nature Studies portfolio, dated 1919-20, has been virtually unknown until now. Envisioned by af Klint as a botanical atlas and rendered in pencil and jewel-toned watercolors, the 46 drawings detail the plants of Sweden's lower peninsula, alongside the abstract diagrams she developed to express the interconnectedness of the natural and spiritual realms. Inspired by scientific breakthroughs that proved the existence of things we cannot see-atoms, X-rays, soundwaves, and the like-af Klint used drawing as a method of investigation. Her portraits of plants are well studied and accurate, yet she intertwines the visible with the invisible, the abstract with the figurative. This deluxe facsimile of the rare portfolio is published in a limited edition of 500. Each of the 46 drawings is presented on its own sheet at full scale, and encased in a luxe clamshell case. A booklet with a contextualizing essay by curator Jodi Hauptman provides insight into this new side of af Klint's artistic output, and examines her strong connection to the natural world.
