Hosted by the MoCA Busan (Busan Museum of Contemporary Art), <Hilma af Klint: Proper Summons> is an exhibition showcasing the works of Swedish artist Hilma af Klint, who presented the first abstract art in Western art history. This exhibition examines the connection between past and present through a fresh perspective, using Hilma af Klint’s works characterized by the ‘encounter of form and meaning’.

This catalogue narrates Hilma af Klint’s life, the background of her artistic development, and her scholarly spirit in constructing her unique artistic world. It also includes plates of major works spanning her career alongside numerous notebooks containing her diverse thoughts. The design of this catalogue evokes the plates through Hilma af Klint‘s work number system, while simultaneously explaining the evolution of her philosophical thought and the completion of her artistic world across 560 pages.
