Memorial to Risto Ryti, Presidential memorial in Hesperian esplanadi, Helsinki, Finland
The bronze monument consists of two geometric elements stretching six meters high and thirteen meters long across the grass without a pedestal.
The memorial honors Risto Ryti, Finland's fifth president, who faced legal consequences after World War II and received public recognition only in the 1990s.
The abstract sculpture by Veikko Myller incorporates constructivist principles through angular beams and geometric forms that symbolize leadership during political challenges.
Located at the eastern section of Hesperian park between Etu-Töölö and Taka-Töölö districts, the memorial displays raised letters indicating Risto Ryti 1889-1956.
The monument was fabricated in twenty separate pieces and assembled in Herttoniemi before its installation in 1994.
