About the Board

Board of Directors

According to the foundation’s statutes, the board has the task of safeguarding and managing Hilma af Klint’s legacy. The Foundation also promotes academic research on Hilma af Klint and her work. The Foundation’s activities are financed by its own income and by donations.

According to the statutes, the board should consist of three to five people. The majority of the board must be members of the Anthroposophical Society. The head of the af Klint family is the natural chairman, but he can appoint another member of the af Klint family in his place.

The board of the Hilma af Klint Foundation is committed to ensuring that her legacy continues to inspire and touch people around the world. In managing the Foundation, the Board is required to act in accordance with the Law on Foundations and the Foundation’s Statutes.

The current composition of the Board has been confirmed by the Administrative Court in Stockholm. The case was appealed to the Administrative Court of Appeal in Stockholm and the Supreme Administrative Court, which did not grant leave to appeal.

More information on the Foundation’s purpose and activities can be found in the statutes and the will published on this website.

Broad study on permanent museum decided
 
The Hilma af Klint Foundation has decided to investigate the possibility of establishing a permanent museum to preserve and present the artist’s work. The study will take a broad and open-minded approach to identify the most suitable location for the museum. Although the focus is on Ytterjärna, which has strong links to Hilma af Klint’s spiritual and artistic visions, the pros and cons of all relevant options will be carefully analyzed.
 
The work will be led by an external and independent chairperson in collaboration with an expert group with extensive experience in art, culture, and museum operations. An initial report, including preliminary proposals and conclusions, is expected within six months.
