Hilma af Klint became known to a wider audience in 2013, nearly 70 years after her death, in conjunction with Moderna Museet's Stockholm exhibition Hilma af Klint: Abstract Pioneer. Six years later, her work was exhibited at the Guggenheim Museum in New York. Both exhibitions saw record numbers of visitors, and today she is one of the world's most acclaimed artists.Hilma af Klint has become incredibly popular and beloved throughout the world, notes Daniel Birnbaum, co-editor with Kurt Almqvist. What makes her art interesting is that the works are highly interconnected. A catalogue raisonné is necessary in order to see the different cycles, motifs and symbols that recur in a fascinating way. If people want to truly understand how Hilma af Klint's works function, they need these books.The paintings in the catalogue raisonné are presented in the same order as Olof Sundström, also a follower of anthroposophy, numbered them in 1945, based on Hilma af Klint's notes. The forewords to the volumes are short and concise. They present facts about the works rather than interpretations. The works are printed in an exclusive edition designed by Patric Leo housed in a specially produced slipcase to hold all seven volumes.

Hilma af Klint is now regarded as a pioneer of abstract art. Her work from the early 20th century predates the first purely abstract paintings by Kandinsky, Mondrian and Malevich. Now, for the first time, af Klint's works, some 1,600 in all, have been collected in a Catalogue Raisonné. Af Klint's work should be seen and appreciated in the series of paintings often depicting specific themes and this ground-breaking publication, divided into seven volumes, allows for this. Volume IV, within the series Parsifal she explored her inward self through the journey of a boy and a girl and their various levels of consciousness. In her Atom series, af Klint explored the inner parts of our existence through what scientists then considered the smallest particles in the world. Produced with the permission of the Hilma af Klint Foundation and featuring introductions by Daniel Birnbaum and Kurt Almqvist, a separate slip cased edition containing all seven volumes will be available in autumn 2021.

"This volume of Klint's catalogue raisonné is different from the previous ones since it contains works from many periods of her life. The first section contains her earliest works, created during her academy years. The rest of the book is structured according to themes rather than to chronology. In sections devoted to portraits, landscapes, and botanical studies we present a representative selection of works that, at least roughly, correspond to these categories." -- Foreward.

Volume VI focuses on the time after her mother's death in 1920 when Hilma af Klint gave up her geometrical works and began to paint with watercolours, as in the series On the Viewing of Flowers and Trees, from 1922.

Olafur Eliasson’s urban projects often create a stir, whether he temporarily colors canal water green in Stockholm, generates a double sunset in Utrecht, or constructs waterfalls in New York. His art challenges viewers' perceptions of the urban landscape. Recently, numerous installations have appeared in Berlin, featuring enigmatic objects like mirrored bicycles, massive driftwood trunks, and an iced-glass pavilion, all part of the exhibition “Innen Stadt Außen.” This exhibition links various installations in Berlin’s urban space with works displayed inside the Martin-Gropius-Bau. Eliasson, who has lived and worked in Berlin since 1994, aims to heighten awareness of the environment through his art, incorporating natural phenomena such as light, water, reflections, time, and movement. He believes art should be accessible in public spaces, engaging people where they are rather than solely in museums. This publication analyzes Eliasson’s artistic practice and the interplay between urban space and museums. It features contributions from Daniel Birnbaum, Lorraine Daston, Regula Lüscher, and a dialogue between Mark Wigley, Eliasson, and Birnbaum. Designed by Heimann und Schwantes, the volume showcases the complete Gropius-Bau exhibition and the Berlin projects through over 200 color plates.

This guide addresses diversity and inclusion in a meaningful and constructive way, encouraging early years educators to reflect on and review provisions. It is a vital read for all trainee and practising early years professionals, reception teachers, nursery teachers and managers.

Art isn't just about creating work anymore. Today, external pressuresand constraints play a large role in the artistic process and production.In recognition of this reality, the Institut für Kunstkritik held a series ofconferences in 2006 and 2007 to explore the value system that resultsfrom what they dubbed the New Spirit of Capitalism and to confronttheoretical models with ad-hoc conditions of production. The thoughtsof conference participants Luc Boltanski, Sabeth Buchmann, TimGriffin, W.J.T. Mitchell, Sighard Neckel, Martin Saar, and Paolo Virnoare compiled in this book of questions and dilemmas for today'scultural producers and society at large.
