In the summer
of 1997 the exhibition of Finnish art was organized in the Open Air Museum
Drecht Banks Sculpture Park (OPAM)
by Lucien den Arend. His attempts to realize this exhibition - in fact - lead to
his founding of the sculpture park itself. Later that summer three of the
Finnish artists who had participated in the exhibition,
Jorma Hautala,
Kari
Huhtamo, and
Matti Peltokangas, met Lucien den Arend in Helsinki and together
they visited Hvitträsk.
Hvitträsk was built in 1901-1903, by three architects, Herman Gesellius, Armas Lindgren and Eliel
Saarinen as an architectural office and cultural home.
