Pielisjärvi Revisited

Artist Susanne Gottberg

Upper Secondary School Ressu, Kalevankatu 8-10, 00100 Helsinki

Indoor Sculpture

Limited access: the work is available to view for the users of the premises only.

Susanne Gottberg’s work Pielisjärvi Revisited is located in the lobby leading to the Ressu Upper Secondary School’s ballroom. The painting is an adaptation of Eero Järnefelt’s oil painting Syysmaisema Pielisjärveltä (Autumn Landscape of Lake Pielisjärvi) from 1899. The idea for Gottberg’s Pielisjärvi Revisited work was based on the small copy of Järnefelt’s painting that is also exhibited in the lobby. With her own adaptation, Gottberg wanted to create dialogue between these two works presented in the space.

The work was produced under the Percent for Art programme, and it belongs to the collection of the City of Helsinki, managed and curated by HAM.
