The NSW Government announced yesterday it had secured Hilma af Klint: The Secret Paintings, which will be presented by the Art Gallery of New South Wales from 12 June until 19 September 2021 with the support of Destination NSW.
Minister for Jobs, Investment, Tourism and Western Sydney Stuart Ayres said the Australian exclusive was an exciting addition to the state’s cultural calendar.
“As identified in our recently launched Visitor Economy Strategy 2030, investing in world-class events is a key pillar in achieving our goal to be the premier visitor economy in the Asia Pacific.
“When New York City’s prestigious Guggenheim Museum presented a Hilma af Klint exhibition in 2018-19, it broke attendance records,” Mr Ayres said.
Art Gallery of NSW Director Dr Michael Brand said the exhibition is the first major survey in the Asia Pacific region of this trailblazing artist who stood for too long outside the accepted story of European modernism.
“We are privileged to present this exhibition of af Klint’s ground-breaking paintings, along with more than 30 watercolours from the last decades of the artist’s life, several of which have never before been exhibited, and a selection of notebooks, which give fascinating insights into her influences and processes,” Dr Brand said.
Tickets to Hilma af Klint: The Secret Paintings will go on sale soon. For more information, visit www.artgallery.nsw.gov.au/exhibitions/hilma-af-klint.
