Tallinn and Tartu

13 December 1925–24 January 1926 Konrad Mägi Memorial Exhibition. Pallas Art Society, Tartu
7 February 1926–21 February 1926 Konrad Mägi Memorial Exhibition. Provincial Museum of Estonia, Tallinn

After Konrad Mägi’s death, his friends and the Pallas Art Society organised a memorial exhibition, which was opened first in Tartu and thereafter in Tallinn. The number of paintings that participated in the exhibition (drawings and illustrations were not exhibited) is unclear. The number 150 is mentioned in the press, but the number of works exhibited in Tallinn appears to have been smaller: 11 paintings from his Norwegian period, four from his Paris period, six from his Saaremaa period, nine each from his Viljandi and Võru periods, 23 that were completed on the shores of Pühajärve and Võrtsjärve lakes, 12 paintings from Italy, and an unknown number from the shores of Saadjärve Lake. Tickets to the exhibition cost 50 marks each, which was the same as the price of a lottery ticket at that time. It was also possible to purchase paintings from these exhibitions since many of the works had been found in Mägi’s studio after his death (especially works from his Italian period) and those paintings had no owner.
