| Objective |
The Egon von Vietinghoff Foundation manages a representative collection of presently 67 paintings never offered for sale. It aims at preserving the memory of the painter and at spreading his spiritual legacy : the concepts of "Transcendental painting" and of the "School of pure vision". In addition, it encourages the transmission of buried knowledge of the European painting tradition. |
||||||||||
| The vast life work of Egon von Vietinghoff is to be made accessible to a large public. For this purpose, the foundation is looking for short- and long-term temporary or permanent venues for the exhibition of its collection of paintings in Switzerland and abroad. | |||||||||||
