Description: Signe and Ane Gyllenberg wanted to have beautiful pieces of art surrounding them, pieces that opened one?s view. Their collection is comprised of paintings, sculptures, graphic art, and other artworks that were done between 1920 and 1960. The couple wanted their collection to be available for viewing by the public and, therefore, gave it to the Signe and Ane Gyllenberg Foundation, to be maintained in the Villa Gyllenberg art museum. The art collection, the original furnishings of Signe and Ane?s home, and the beautiful nature of the surroundings form a harmonious ensemble.00The art collection of the Signe and Ane Gyllenberg Foundation includes Finnish art that is well represented by Isak Wacklin?s Portrait of a Man (1756) and Juhani Linnovara?s surrealistic paintings, done in the 1960s. The golden age of Finnish art and modernism is well represented also. The more than 30 paintings of Helen Schjerfbeck form the museum?s biggest collection of an individual artist.00Exhibition: Signe och Ane Gyllenbergs stiftelse, Helsinki, Finland (29.03. ? 29.10. 2017).
