Välkommen till presskonferensen för utställningen Gallen-Kallela, Klimt & Wien onsdagen den 24 september kl. 10.15.9.9.2025 13:00:00 EEST | Pressmeddelande

Presskonferensen för utställningen hålls onsdagen den 24 september 2025 kl. 10.15 både på Ateneum och på nätet – noggrannare information nedan. Utställningen som öppnar i slutet av september skildrar hur Akseli Gallen-Kallelas konst utvecklades i interaktion med internationella modernister som Gustav Klimt och Koloman Moser. Secessionsrörelsen som under Klimts ledning grundades för att förnya konsten förenades av ett intresse för att utveckla en ny identitet och för en modern livsstil samt för stora, offentliga konstverk. Utställningen hämtar för första gången målningar av Gustav Klimt till Finland. Utom bildkonst ses på utställningen också fotografier samt formgivning, bland annat vardagliga föremål, smycken och mode. Utställningen visas på Ateneum 26.9.2025–1.2.2026.

Tervetuloa Gallen-Kallela, Klimt & Wien -näyttelyn tiedotustilaisuuteen keskiviikkona 24.9.20259.9.2025 13:00:00 EEST | Tiedote

Näyttelyn tiedotustilaisuus on keskiviikkona 24.9.2025 klo 10.15 sekä Ateneumissa että verkossa – lisätiedot alempana. Gallen-Kallela, Klimt & Wien kertoo, miten Akseli Gallen-Kallelan taide kehittyi vuorovaikutuksessa kansainvälisten modernistien, kuten Gustav Klimtin ja Koloman Moserin kanssa. Klimtin johdolla perustettua, taidetta uudistanutta sesessio-liikettä yhdisti kiinnostus uuden identiteetin kehittämiseen ja moderniin elämäntapaan sekä suuriin julkisiin taideteoksiin. Näyttely tuo ensimmäistä kertaa Gustav Klimtin maalauksia Suomeen. Kuvataiteen lisäksi näyttelyssä nähdään myös valokuvia sekä muotoilua, kuten arjen esineitä, koruja ja muotia. Näyttely on esillä Ateneumissa 26.9.2025–1.2.2026.

Welcome to the Gallen-Kallela, Klimt & Wien exhibition press conference on Wednesday 24 September 2025, at 10:159.9.2025 13:00:00 EEST | Press release

The press conference for the exhibition will be held on Wednesday 24 September 2025 at 10:15, on site at the Ateneum and online. For more information, see below. The exhibition Gallen-Kallela, Klimt & Wien will explore how Akseli Gallen-Kallela’s art developed in interaction with international modernists, such as Gustav Klimt and Koloman Moser. The Vienna Secession movement, which was founded under the direction of Klimt and which set out to reform art, was united by an interest in developing new artistic identities, promoting a modern way of life, and creating large public works of art. The exhibition will bring Gustav Klimt’s paintings to Finland for the first time. In addition to visual art, the exhibition will feature photography and design, including everyday objects, jewellery and fashion. The exhibition will be on display at the Ateneum from 26 September 2025 to 1 February 2026.

En testamentsdonation sätter fart på konserveringen av Akseli Gallen-Kallelas freskskisser15.5.2025 10:50:44 EEST | Pressmeddelande

Konstmuseet Ateneum som är en del av Finlands Nationalgalleri har fått en betydande testamentsdonation på 700 000 euro av en finsk privatperson. Enligt donatorns önskan ska 150 000 euro av de donerade medlen användas för Nationalgalleriets konserveringsenhets behov och anskaffningar. Donatorn har önskat förbli anonym. Tack vare donationen kan vi tidigarelägga ett länge planerat projekt: att konservera Akseli Gallen-Kallelas freskskisser med Kalevala-motiv som ingår i Nationalgalleriets samlingar. Gallen-Kallela utförde skisserna för freskerna i takkupolen på Finlands paviljong vid världsutställningen i Paris år 1900. Av dessa kommer Hedendom och kristendom (1899) att visas på Ateneum på utställningen Gallen-Kallela, Klimt & Wien, som är öppen 26.9.2025–1.2.2026.

Testamenttilahjoitus vauhdittaa Akseli Gallen-Kallelan freskoluonnosten konservointia15.5.2025 10:50:44 EEST | Tiedote

Kansallisgalleriaan kuuluva Ateneumin taidemuseo on saanut merkittävän, noin 700 000 euron testamenttilahjoituksen suomalaiselta yksityishenkilöltä. Lahjoittajan toiveen mukaisesti lahjoitusvaroista 150 000 euroa käytetään Kansallisgallerian konservointiyksikön tarpeisiin ja hankintoihin. Lahjoittaja on toivonut, ettei hänen nimeään kerrota julkisuuteen. Lahjoituksen ansiosta voidaan toteuttaa pitkään suunniteltu hanke aiottua aikaisemmin: konservoida Kansallisgallerian kokoelmaan kuuluvat Akseli Gallen-Kallelan Kalevala-aiheiset luonnokset vuoden 1900 Pariisin maailmannäyttelyn Suomen paviljongin kattokupolin freskoihin. Näistä Pakanuus ja kristinusko (1899) saadaan esille Ateneumissa 26.9.2025–1.2.2026 esillä olevaan Gallen-Kallela, Klimt & Wien -näyttelyyn.
