About the collection of the Museum of New Art

In 1996, the cornerstone was laid for the collection of the Museum of New Art. Puerto Rican graphic artist Martin Garcia Rivera made the first donation. He donated all his large-scale woodcuts "Lati-dos" to the museum after performing at the nude exhibition MAN and WOMAN. The first gift had a symbolic meaning, giving direction to all subsequent collecting activities that value the core values of indigenous art from generation to generation. And not only that. Innovative form searches, developments of already collected topics by more and more new creators have also been the basis for supplementing the collections. For example, after acquiring the photo production "Holy Communion" from the Swedish artist Elisabeth Ohlson in 1998 with the support of the Cultural Endowment, we bought Peeter Laurits's large-scale vision of Christ's last supper with his disciples in the middle of modern commercial props. The exhibition of these two works, together with Peeter Mudist's latest major painting, The Doctrine of the Faith (2002), creates a separate narrative from our time. The museum's collection began to grow strongly in 1998 when we were visited by the well-known British poet, photographer, and art historian Edward Lucie-Smith, who soon became the chief expert of our art collection. Thanks to his international authority and on several occasions the curation of the exhibition MAN and WOMAN, the UKM collection has been supplemented with many works by star artists such as Michael Kvium from Denmark, Pablo Picasso, Jean Rustin and Corneille from France, Yoko Ono, Mark Sadan, Jonathan Webb, Judy Chicago, Joel Peter Witkin and Kalev Mark Kostabi from the USA, Elina Brotherus and Viggo Wallensköld from Finland, Ivan Pinkava and art group Kamera Skura from the Czech Republic, Ruslan Vashkevich from Belarus, Michalis Manoussakis from Greece, Aurel Vlad from Romania, Tara Sosrowardoyo from Malaysia, Jose Mario Ansalone from Argentina and others.
