“In my opinion, our art collection is one of the bank’s most valuable public projects. Swedbank aims to support the work of local artists by creating a collection of works of art, and these works are not locked in safes or storerooms on a daily basis, but can be viewed freely in various workspaces. In order to give inspiration not only to employees, but also to other art lovers, we are happy to exhibit works of art for public viewing as well, “says Reinis Rubenis, Head of Swedbank Latvia.
In order to make these art values available to a wider audience together, thematic exhibitions will be held regularly in the future on the 2nd floor of Swedbank’s central building, which is open to the public.
From September 21, the works of Latvian artists, without whom the history of Latvian art is inconceivable and who have determined its direction from academic realism to the directions of modern art of the interwar and Soviet periods, will be on display. The pearls of the exhibition are Ludolf Liberts, Imants Vecozols, Vilis Ozols, Jamma Skulme, Jānis Tīdemanis, Rūdolfs Pinnis, Edgars Valdmanis, Herberts Siliņš, Leonīds Āriņš, Laris Strunke, Eduards Grūbe, Maija Tabaka, Ilmārs Blumbergs u.c.
“Each of the represented artists with their handwriting and genre or theme stylistics is a canonical size in Latvian painting. The works collected in the exhibition look at different eras, trends, directions and currents; otherwise, “explains the curator of the exhibition Anna Heinrihsone.
The exhibition “Values” of Swedbank’s art collection can be viewed from September 21 to the end of November in the bank’s central office building in Riga, Kipsala, Balasta dambis 15, 2nd floor.
