Festive reception, anniversary auction and new online art project
Haus Gallery is celebrating its 20th year of operation. It’s the same age as the tradition of regular art auctions in Estonia, which were founded by Haus Gallery in 1997. For the gallery, the birthday is remarkable and deserves to be celebrated with beloved friends, artists and customers who have helped to enrich the artistic processes of the city.
The anniversary celebration of Haus gallery takes place on Friday, 3 November from 4 p.m. until 6.30 p.m. in the gallery rooms of Tallinn, Uus tn. 17. The day ends with a festive art auction hosted by Marko Reikop and starting at 7 p.m. Pre-registered buyers are welcome to the auction. You can also register immediately before the auction.
The anniversary exhibition of the Haus Gallery is magnificent and everyone is welcome to this wonderful overview of Estonian art. The works can also be seen at the website of the gallery here.
Haus has been preparing the auction exhibition for almost the entire year, carefully and critically compiling the artworks to exhibit only the most valuable and finest during its anniversary celebrations. The auction has the intention to bring together the works of those Estonian art classics whose names have been the most prominent in Haus auctions for the past decades: Nikolai Triik, Ants Laikmaa, Eduard Wiiralt, Richard Uutmaa, Elmar Kits, Aleksander Vardi, Eerik Haamer, Lepo Mikko, Richard Sagrits, Ann Audova, but also Jüri Arrak, Olev Subbi, Evald Okas etc. It is pertinent to highlight the museum-worthy oil painting of Kaarel Liimand from 1939 as a rare and unique artwork depicting a portrait of a young girl in folk costume with Estonian landscape at the background. The painting has been featured in the 2006/07 exhibition “Classics of the Modernist Age. Andrus Johani and Kaarel Liimand”. Eduard Wiiralt's original drawing, a piquant scene from 1931, should also be emphasised. An important and rare name at the auction is Oskar Kallis, whose national romantic art heritage is vigorously and personally dominating the early Estonian art.
As part of its anniversary celebrations, Haus Gallery will also open its new art project for the wider public – an online-based auction site onlinearthaus.com.
The purpose of this site is to popularise the versatility of Estonian art to the wider public and present a larger number of works from our artistic heritage, as well as contemporary works, bringing to public especially pieces with attractive prices that would be available for decorating homes and bestowing as gifts. The online environment also provides audience with price games, where you can get lucky and buy fine art a lot cheaper than the actual market price.
We wish you wonderful art experiences and express our warm gratitude to everyone who has been on a journey with us for 20 years in this marvellous world of art.
Yours, Haus Gallery
