Monday, April 20, 2026 · 1 min read
The Grand Palais is presenting the first major monographic exhibition in France dedicated to Swedish artist Hilma af Klint, a pioneer of abstract art whose work predates that of Wassily Kandinsky. Curated by art historian Pascal Rousseau, the exhibition highlights Klint's 'Paintings for the Temple' series, a collection of 193 works created between 1906 and 1915. The showcase follows the artist's global recognition after her 2018 retrospective at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York.
