The Heritage Fund also aims to raise public awareness and visibility for its collection and to provide access to it for the general public through its publications. It ensures that scientifically innovative information is communicated in an accessible manner. Below is a list of published work, classified in function of publication date.
The Wolfers Collection comprises over 150 masterpieces and numerous archives of Philippe and Marcel Wolfers. It has become one of the most important collections of work by Philippe Wolfers, who is internationally recognised today as one of the leading figures of Belgian Art Nouveau and a pioneer of Belgian Art Deco. Richly illustrated, the publication sheds particular light on the rise, development and later decline of the Wolfers family jewellery business.
The animated film-maker Raoul Servais (b.1928) lived through the Second World War and this tragic event had a great impact on his life and work. The war turned him into an uncompromising pacifist, but it also provided him with an inexhaustible source of inspiration for his work as a film-maker, creator of animated films and visual artist. In later life, Raoul Servais wrote down his memories of the war and illustrated them with drawings. In this publication, he shares with us this unique and very personal testimony.
Christian Dotremont would have been 100 years old in 2022. As a tribute to the artist, the King Baudouin Foundation has organized an exhibition of photographs taken by Georges A. Bertrand. The photographs invite us on a poetic journey, visiting emblematic places in the life of Christian Dotremont, in dialogue with the artist’s work.
