“Andrejs Ķiģelis. Master of Large Forms” – a retrospective exhibition of Andrejs Ķiģelis’s works to highlight his creative legacy.

Heritage of Ceramics. Research. Large Scale.

From May 9 to September 26, the museum is hosting the exhibition

“Andrejs Ķiģelis. Master of Large Forms,”

while the program of related events is taking place in Riga, Ādaži, Sesava, and Liepāja.

The exhibition was created in cooperation with the Riga Porcelain Museum, continuing focused work on researching and bringing to light the ceramic heritage of Latvia in the second half of the 20th century. This time, the focus is on Andrejs Ķiģelis, a ceramic artist born in Saldus and a pioneer of large-scale ceramics in Latvia.

🏺 The exhibition presents the artist as a master of large forms, who devoted his life to uncovering and mastering the secrets of ceramics. His works stand out for their scale, technical precision, and individual sculptural language, which marks an important direction in Latvia's professional applied art.

The display features architectural solutions, garden ceramics, exhibition pieces, and everyday objects. Alongside them are images and video materials documenting the creative process, as well as offering insight into unrealized and lost projects.

The exhibition invites reflection on the importance of design and art heritage — its identification, preservation, and accessibility for future generations.

• 📅The exhibition can be seen until September 26, 2026.
