Malmö

Welcome to a talk between Iris Müller-Westermann, museum director and curator of the ongoing exhibition “Hilma af Klint – Artist, Researcher, Medium”, and Julia Voss, art historian and journalist, whose biography “Hilma af Klint – Discovering people’s wonders” is released in Swedish in 2021.

Hilma af Klint is a mythical artist, whose unique story arouses wonder and curiosity around the world. Both Iris Müller-Westermann and Julia Voss have researched Hilma af Klint, and now they meet in a conversation to deepen the portrait of the artist.

In her biography, Julia Voss tells about the unusual life that Hilma af Klint lived and gives a picture of a time period where the world’s political upheavals not only revolutionized art. Her book has already attracted international attention and was recently nominated for the Book Fair in Leipzig’s prize 2020. The conversation is an opportunity for everyone who wants to immerse themselves in Hilma af Klint’s art and there is also possibility to ask questions.
