Konrad M\u00e4gi. Saaremaa. 1913\u20131914. Estonian Museum Canada<\/p><\/div>\n

Local art audiences will be treated to never-before-exhibited works by the early 20th<\/sup> century Estonian painter Konrad M\u00e4gi (1878\u20131925). Most of the works on view are sourced from private collections and a few are on loan from the collections of foreign museums. The exhibition is accompanied by a substantial album that introduces the entirety of M\u00e4gi\u2019s known works.<\/p>\n

Recent years have seen the discovery of several dozen M\u00e4gi works \u2013 in Estonia, Canada, Sweden and elsewhere \u2013 that the public had never seen in their original form and which are familiar only from reproductions. These unseen works represent nearly all of the artist\u2019s creative periods, adding to our understanding of M\u00e4gi\u2019s legacy.<\/p>\n

Eero Epner, the most prominent contemporary M\u00e4gi scholar, who is one of the exhibition coordinators, describes the importance of the album in the context of local art history: \u201cThe newly discovered works, updated facts and the survey of his works, now consolidated into one publication, are a good foundation for building various interpretations and adding new information.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWith this exhibition, we\u2019re looking to emphasize the role of private collections as a repository for art and expanding our ideas of artists\u2019 oeuvre. One of the coordinators of the exhibition, Mikkel Museum director Aleksandra Murre, said the new works would unlock a fuller understanding of M\u00e4gi. \u201cThe exhibition of M\u00e4gi paintings brought from private collections to public light as a culmination of a long research process gives art aficionados a chance to see the works in a museum environment, and tie them to the previously known works by the artist.\u201d<\/p>\n

The exhibition will run until 18 September. During the exhibition period, the museum will have longer opening hours than usual: Tuesday to Sunday, 10.00 to 20.00.<\/p>\n

Coordinators: Eero Epner, Aleksandra Murre
\nExhibition designer: Mari Kurismaa<\/p>\n

The exhibition was made possible in collaboration between the Mikkel Museum (Art Museum of Estonia) and the Konrad M\u00e4gi Foundation.
