AADFF: Beyond the Visible: Hilma af Klint

For more than a century, Wassily Kandinsky has been unanimously considered the originator of abstract art, but Swedish artist Hilma af Klint's first abstract painting is dated 1906, years before Kandinsky's celebrated breakthroughs. Recently the subject of a monumental Guggenheim exhibition entitled "Paintings for the Future," af Klint is finally getting the credit she deserves. Beyond the Visible investigates just why it took so long to happen, the stubborn mechanisms behind canonization and the art world's reluctance to give a woman her rightful place in history. Sometimes history must be rewritten.
