These postcards are produced using our advanced 12-color fine art printing technology. Unlike standard 4-color inkjet processes, our method captures the vibrant golds, deep indigos, and subtle gradients of af Klint’s original palette with breathtaking accuracy and depth.
- Paper Quality: Each card is printed on 200 gsm (80 lb) FSC-certified paper, ensuring a premium, substantial feel.
- Smooth Matte Finish: A clean, glare-free surface that highlights the geometric precision of the artwork while providing a tactile, sophisticated touch.
- Archival Durability: With a thickness of 0.26 mm (10.3 mils), these cards are designed to endure, whether sent through the mail or framed as miniature displays.
- Eco-Conscious Curation: We utilize environmentally responsible materials, reflecting the harmony with nature that af Klint herself championed.
A Legacy of Abstraction
Hilma af Klint was a true pioneer of abstraction, creating complex, non-representational works years before her male contemporaries. Altarpiece No 2 utilizes the pyramid as a central motif, symbolizing the spiritual climb and the ultimate union of opposites. These postcards offer more than just a means of communication; they are a tribute to a woman who saw beyond the visible world, curated by RedKalion for those who appreciate the intersection of high art and exceptional craft.
