A Scholarly Work

Noted Seattle art critic, Matthew Kangas wrote recently in " When 'Mystic' Became Modern", (Relocations, Selected Essays), a significant work of scholarship, "Helmi Dagmar Juvonen: Her Life and Work", appeared in 2001. It raised serious human rights issues about Juvonen's repeated commitments to long term mental illness facilities, and the roles played by prominent Seattle art collectors, as well as Richard E. Fuller, director of the Seattle Art Museum, and the collusions with artist and private dealer Wesley Wehr (1929 - 2004) who gained control of Juvonen's possessions long before her death in 1985. I might add that the author personally knew Helmi, and visited her frequently at Oakhurst.
