La Gazette Drouot magazine has published an article on the Foundation
The journalist Sarah Hugounenq has written a very comprehensive article for La Gazette Drouot (No. 23, June 2023) on the Fondation Etrillard and its work in supporting artists, researchers and institutions.
The article looks back over the seven years since our Geneva-based family foundation was established, with a mission to ‘bring the resonance of ancient art into our contemporary world’. It highlights how the Foundation has refined and structured its various areas of focus since 2021, whilst retaining the interdisciplinary approach that is so dear to it: from biodiversity to digital technology, “a diverse and wide-ranging policy, where no discipline is excluded provided the project creates a resonance between past and present.”
La Gazette Drouot highlights several of the Foundation’s flagship projects, such as the restoration of the two reliquaries from the treasury of Saint-Maurice Abbey in Switzerland, which combines traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology; and the recent launch of its ‘Âmes d’Œuvres’ arts and crafts competition. A foothold in Switzerland and France as a springboard for expansion across Europe and beyond.
