Séances and exercises automatic drawings. Vol 1 of the Hilma af Klint Catalogue raisonné. Spiritualistic Drawings shows af Klint’s works from 1896–1905. The abstraction in Hilma af Klint’s pictures developed over time; it was a process in which a group of female friends, The Five, played a major role. The members of the group acted as mediums and deemed themselves receivers of messages from spirits regarding the development of humanity. On assignment from Erik af Klint (1901–1981) – the only heir of Hilma af Klint’s works as well as the only donor to and founder of The Hilma af Klint Foundation (1972) – the paintings are presented in the same order as the anthroposophist Olof Sundström placed them in 1945.
