This is the first book dedicated to the work of Swiss-based artist Harumi Klossowska de Rola (b. 1973), which accompanies an exhibition. The book is filled with her iconic designs of bronze sculptures, screens, and benches, as well as examples of haute joaillerie, sketches, and items from her family’s collection of decorative arts and antiques.

Art has always been a part of Klossowska de Rola’s life since the time she spent at Villa Medici, the residence of the French Academy in Rome, with her father, the celebrated artist Balthus, and her mother, Setsuko Ideta, a Japanese sculptor and artist. Her multicultural roots, alongside the creative aura of her family, endowed her with a sharp sensitiveness toward the ephemeral and the fleeting. She draws inspiration from various sources including nature (wild animals, plants, and trees); Greek, Roman, and Egyptian mythology; African art; and Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi. Klossowska de Rola currently lives and works at the Grand Chalet de Rossinière, the largest

This book was published on the occasion of Helen Frankenthaler: Drawing within Nature: Paintings from the 1990s at Gagosian, 541 West 24th Street, New York. Organized in collaboration with the Helen Frankenthaler Foundation, the exhibition featured paintings and works on paper made by Frankenthaler from 1990 through 1995. Grounded in the artist’s experience of landscape, these late-career works amplify the expressive painterly means she had pursued since the 1950s, introducing new approaches to abstraction.

The catalogue is illustrated with color plates and details of twelve paintings and three large-scale works on paper, along with archival photographs of the artist in her studio. A new essay by art historian Thomas Crow elucidates her work in this era and offers interpretations of the paintings in the exhibition.

When Swedish artist Hilma af Klint died in 1944 at the age of 81, she left behind more than 1,000 paintings and works on paper that she had kept largely private during her lifetime. Believing the world was not yet ready for her art, she stipulated that it should remain unseen for another 20 years. But only in recent decades has the public had a chance to reckon with af Klint's radically abstract painting practice—one which predates the work of Vasily Kandinsky and other artists widely considered trailblazers of modernist abstraction. Her boldly colorful works, many of them large-scale, reflect an ambitious, spiritually informed attempt to chart an invisible, totalizing world order through a synthesis of natural and geometric forms, textual elements and esoteric symbolism. Accompanying the first major survey exhibition of the artist's work in the United States, Hilma af Klint: Paintings for the Future represents her groundbreaking painting series while expanding recent scholarship to present the fullest picture yet of her life and art. Essays explore the social, intellectual and artistic context of af Klint's 1906 break with figuration and her subsequent development, placing her in the context of Swedish modernism and folk art traditions, contemporary scientific discoveries, and spiritualist and occult movements. A roundtable discussion among contemporary artists, scholars and curators considers af Klint's sources and relevance to art in the 21st century. The volume also delves into her unrealized plans for a spiral-shaped temple in which to display her art—a wish that finds a fortuitous answer in the Guggenheim Museum's rotunda, the site of the exhibition. Hilma af Klint (1862–1944) is now regarded as a pioneer of abstract art. Though her paintings were not seen publicly until 1987, her work from the early 20th century predates the first purely abstract paintings by Kandinsky, Mondrian and Malevich.
