The National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo π¨
The National Museum of Modern Art in Tokyo will host the "Hilma af Klint Exhibition" from March 4th to June 15th. ππΈ Hilma af Klint (1862-1944) was a Swedish painter whose name was long overshadowed in the history of art. πΊπHowever, since entering the 21st century, her work has quickly gained re-evaluation and she has become one of the most globally recognized artists in recent years. Discussions around her often center on the idea that she was the true pioneer of abstract painting, rather than Wassily Kandinsky or Piet Mondrian, who are usually credited with pioneering abstract art. ππΈ Additionally, she was a trailblazer among female artists in the late 19th century. Whether these views are entirely fair remains open to interpretation, but it is undeniable that her work is receiving increasing attention. πΊπ In 2018, the retrospective exhibition held for her at the Guggenheim Museum in New York attracted a record-breaking 600,000 visitors, a testament to her artistic appeal. π ππΈ #NationalMuseumOfModernArtTokyo ππ¨
