Behind the Scenes: Preservation and Conservation for the Future

​

Sharing art begins with proper care. The JK Art Foundation highly values the quality of its collection and actively invests in the preservation of cultural heritage. A wonderful example of this is the recent preparation for the exhibition Kees van Dongen: The Road to Success.

​

Before the selected pieces were transported to Singer Laren, we decided to have them undergo a full conservation treatment. In collaboration with art historian and Van Dongen expert Anita Hopmans, each work was thoroughly analyzed. Subsequently, the restoration studio Redivivus, led by Gwendolyn Boevé-Jones, treated the paintings with meticulous precision. The result? The artworks are in absolute pristine condition, ensuring they can be admired by the public in their optimal state.
