Foundation Overview

The Hans G. and Thordis W. Burkhardt Foundation was established to encourage and support an understanding of art and the art of Hans Burkhardt by providing contributions to museums and art schools. The Foundation intends to carry forward the artist's mandate and legacy to benefit subsequent generations of artists, art audiences and the general public.

To follow this course the Foundation will, over time, initiate and direct the research and publication of a series of educational publications about the art and life of the artist as well as a series of scholarly catalogues raisonnés of Burkhardt's paintings, drawings and prints.
This website has been developed to provide an initial understanding of Burkhardt's art by showing some of his work, as well as providing a resume of his exhibitions and a brief biography of his life.
