Hilma af Klint created her first abstract works in Stockholm in 1906, years before Kandinsky, Mondrian, Delaunay and Malevich explored abstraction. Hilma left instructions that her groundbreaking abstract works should not be shown publicly until at least 20 years after her death, believing the world wasn’t ready for them yet. Long overlooked, the visionary Swedish artist is now celebrated as a pioneer of abstract art. This recycled zip pocket set brings together her bold colours, mysterious symbols and groundbreaking imagination. The Swan, 1914–15, Group IV, No. 1 & No. 2 The Ten Largest, Childhood, 1907.
