Collections

Espoo Museum of Modern Art Collection

The Collection was started during the 1950s when the Espoo Primary School Board and the national “Art for Schools” project began to collect art, mainly prints, for schools. Today EMMA is responsible for the City of Espoo’s art purchases.  Earlier this was the responsibility of the city’s art committee which was also responsible for managing the Collection.

Raimo Utriainen Art Foundation Collection

Raimo Utriainen (1927-1994) was a pioneer of Finnish abstract sculpture. He studied sculpture, architecture and mathematics and stressed the connection between these three in his art.  For Utriainen art was a symbol of technical progress and the artist “an inventor, an explorer and a visionary”.  Utriainen was a constructivist who sought and emphasised kinetic, dynamic structures in his work which expressed experiences in time and space.
