R. H. Quaytman: + x, Chapter 34

R. H. Quaytman presents a new series of paintings, titled + ×, Chapter 34, responding to Hilma af Klint: Paintings for the Future, the first exhibition devoted to Hilma af Klint in the United States since Quaytman organised a retrospective of her work at P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center in 1989.

In these works, the artist engages and responds to af Klint’s aesthetic language and spiritual subject matter;  reexamining both through the lens of the Guggenheim Museum’s founding ethos, indebted to the art and theories of Kandinsky and culminating with Frank Lloyd Wright’s “a temple of the spirit.”
