Paintings for the Future

Wikimedia Commons

For the #1 slot on his list of Top 10 Best Art Shows of 2018, New York Magazine art critic Jerry Saltz selected an exhibition at the Guggenheim by Swedish artist Hilma af Klint titled "Paintings for the Future."  He wrote, "The most magnificent sight in New York this year was the drop-dead first gallery showing of kaleidoscopically colored, structurally complex, completely abstract paintings made in the first two decades of the 20th century by [this] unacknowledged Swedish visionary...." Since opening last October, the show has become something of an art world sensation. We check in with the show's curator, Tracey Bashkoff. (Note: "Paintings for the Future" closes April 23, 2019.)

Hosted by Jeff Martinwith Philbrook Museum of Art and produced by Scott Gregory with Public Radio Tulsa.
