Art museum at the airport: sculptor Mare Mikof
Location: Tallinn Airport, Old Terminal
Mare Mikof (b. 1941) is one of the most outstanding contemporary sculptors in Estonia. She came to the art scene in the early 1970s, when a new aesthetics, which touched all the areas of art, also permeated the developing sculpture. Her first creative years were influenced by hyperrealism and Pop art, which blended with her grotesque concept of the human being. To this day, the artist structures a number of her composition as humorous stagings.
The exhibition is a continuation of the collaboration between Tallinn Airport and Art Museum of Estonia, as a part of which exhibitions of Estonian artists have been held in the historic airport terminal since the year 2010.
