Bold, life-affirming, and extraordinarily talented...

“Political persecution did not deprive Sooster of either his wit or his joy…

Sooster changed with each passing year, linking the art of Soviet Estonia with Western Europe…

In Estonia, people are very proud of this bold, life-affirming, and extraordinarily talented nonconformist…”

This is a quotation from the article “The Egg — the Foundation of the Universe,” published in one of Germany’s leading newspapers, Frankfurter Allgemeine, on 30 December 2024. The author, Jan Brachmann, visited the Ülo Sooster exhibition at the Mikkel Museum, dedicated to the artist’s centenary.

Today marks 101 years since Ülo Sooster’s birth.

The Sooster Foundation once again thanks everyone involved in creating and presenting the exhibition, and invites those who could not attend to take a 360-degree virtual tour on our website: https://soosterfoundation.org/mikkel360/index.html
