The international real estate company Baltic Sotheby’s International Realty, beginning its activities in Jurmala, has organized, in cooperation with the Riga Gallery, the Latvian painters’ contemporary and modern art exhibition „Synergy effect”, which has taken place in the Jurmala City Museum, starting from the 6.th till the 9.th of August, the year 2010.
In the exposition, it was possible to see the paintings of the nine Latvian painters, as well as the works of the painters Liga Purmale un Ritums Ivanovs, which were represented by Sotheby’s in the London auction of the year 2009. Baltic Sotheby’s International Realty organized the exhibition in connection with the opening of its office in Jurmala, which began its work on the 1.st of July in the main pedestrians’ street in Jurmala – in Jomas Street.
”Jurmala was deliberately chosen to be the place of the organization of the exhibition, because the city becomes in summer not only the center of the health resort, but also it offers the wide cultural program. Traditionally, the cultural and entertainment events in Jurmala are connected with the music, and our objective is to expand the horizon and to attract the society’s attention to the achievements of the Latvian contemporary and modern painting. For the first exhibition, we have chosen the theme of the modern painting, which is represented by the painters, whose works have been already esteemed in the international exhibitions, organized by Sotheby`s,” – the chairman of the board of Baltic Sotheby’s International Realty – Vestards Rozenbergs emphasizes.
”The art, exclusive apartments and villas are connected in the same way, like the canvas are connected with the frame. For the perfect premises, the art communicates the individuality and special aura. The Riga Gallery, till now the only one in the Baltic State, has established successful cooperation with Sotheby’s Auction House, and the works of the modern art were included in the year 2009, in London, for the first tine in the history of the Latvian art, in the auction list – these works comprised Liga Purmale’s „Saturday night movie” and Ritums Ivanovs’s „Frame 05” – which were successfully sold. The artists, represented in the collection of the RigaGallery, are the greatest stars of the Latvian art – the painters, whose style has already become the brand,” – the directress of the Riga Gallery Inessa Rinke says about the exhibition.
