Hilma af Klint in “The Keeper” at THE NEW MUSEUM

James Kalm made his way to the Bowery, ran into the New Museum, and scurried up to the fourth floor to spend time in attentive contemplation in front of the works of Hilma af Klint. Since her rediscovery in the mid 1980s af Klint has become among painters a near mystic figure. Documented to have made totally abstract paintings at least a decade ahead of her mail counterparts like Kandinsky, Picabia and Kupka, af Klint rather decided to place stipulations in her will that would restrict the exposition of her works until twenty years after her death. This selection of sixteen paintings is the first major presentation of the work in New York in decades, and given the changing perspectives of feminism, identity politics and new insights into abstract painting, provides a fresh basis on which, not only painters, but young artists of any stripe can consider the complex position of the individual artist within their society. The Keeper was curated by Massimiliano Gioni. This program was recorded August 11, 2016. A musical introduction is provided by Ellis, and was recorded just south of the New Museum on the Bowery.
