Description

The Sara Hildén Foundation was established in 1962. At that time Mrs. Sara Hildén (1905-1993), a Tampere art collector and businesswoman, handed over her art collection to the Foundation which was named after her.Once the Foundation had been established, a conscious effort was made to expand the collection. With leading Finnish art experts to help her, Mrs. Hildén herself engaged actively in the acquisition of new works. Not only are modern Finnish artists represented in large numbers, many of them are also represented by a wide selection of works. The Finnish painters include Kimmo Kaivanto, Kauko Lehtinen,etc.Alongside these artists there are also some of the earliest masters of modern art, such as Alberto Giacometti, Henry Moore, Francis Bacon, Paul Klee, Paul Delvaux, Joan Miró, Victor Brauner, Giorgio de Chirico, Giorgio Morandi, Yves Tanguy, Graham Sutherland, Aristide Maillol and Georges Rouault as are also the masters Pablo Picasso, Fernand Léger, Juan Gris and Pierre Bonnard.
