Conservation
How the collection is cared for
A collection is only as serious as the way it is kept. This one is looked after in close, ongoing work with its conservator, Ania Kowalik, who watches over the condition of every painting and shapes how the works are handled, shown and stored.
Acquisitions are documented and researched, not simply bought, so each work arrives with its history intact and a clear record of its state.
The paintings are kept in climate-controlled conditions, with humidity under control and under constant conservatorial care. The aim is a museum standard, maintained quietly and without fuss.
And the works travel. The collection lends to institutions and is glad to discuss condition, handling and loans with professionals.
