New York City’s 600-Foot-Long Subway Mural Recalls Hilma af Klint’s Astounding Mysticism
In 2019, Swedish artist Hilma af Klint was honored with her first major solo exhibition at the Guggenheim, nearly eight decades after her death. The exhibition spurred a revived interest not only in af Klint’s abstractionism, but in the spirituality and mysticism that guided her practice. It was within this climate that Sharmistha Ray and Dannielle Tegeder founded the feminist art collective Hilma’s Ghost in 2020.
