“R. H. Quaytman: + x, Chapter 34”

Quaytman doesn’t see her paintings as singular compositions, but rather as parts of an overall scheme detailing the arc of her career—a “book in which each successive show is a chapter,” as she describes her process. For her exhibit at the Guggenheim, Quaytman has created a new series of compositions that pay homage to Hilma af Klint (1862–1944), the Swedish artist, mystic and pioneering abstractionist whose work is featured in a concurrent show at the museum.
