Omat näyttelyt
Tämä sivu on rakenteilla
Elga Sesemannin maalauksia on näytetty yli sadassa näyttelyssä, sivulla Näyttelyt selostamme kaikki jotka tunnemme. Tällä sivulla selostamme ainoastaan Elgan omat näyttelyt, sekä gallerioissa että museoissa/taidehalleissa.
Valitettavasti dokumentointi ei ole läheskään täydellinen. Jos teillä on tietoja teoslistoista, hintalistoista, valokuvia näyttelystä tai enemmän tietoja joistakin maalauksista niin ottakaa yhteyttä meihin. Jos teillä on Elgan maalauksia niin katsokaa myös toiselle puolelle, siinä voi olla tietoja jos maalaus on ollut näyttelyssä. Ja jos meillä ei ole kuvaa maalauksesta niin lähettäkää mielellään meille valokuva ja tietoja.

The list of works, with our remarks
The list of works lists 34 works. But work No. 34 i written on the very last line of the page wich make us think there is a page 2. The clip #7233 mention "around 40 paintings" wich could mean, maybe 36 - 44 works. ( UPDATE: When we visited Ateneum's research library 2024 we saw two more copies of the list of works, but no second page, which make it much more likely that the list above is complete. )
The list has prices and markings, wich we think should be read as: x = sold, o / - = reserved / not for sale.
Clip #7208 mention that the exhibition is made up of oil paintings and gouache paintings. Clip 7224 specifies some works as oil and some as gouache.
No. 2 gouache, No. 7 gouache, No. 10 oil, No. 14 oil, No. 17 oil, No. 30 oil. We think that many of the paintings may be mixed technique, oil/tempera.
