Hartwig Art Foundation is dedicated to fostering and facilitating the production, presentation, mediation, preservation, and collection of contemporary art. Through artist collaborations and partnerships with a wide range of global institutions, we foster new artistic production, critical enquiry and social engagement. Currently, Hartwig Art Foundation is developing the Hartwig Museum, a new major contemporary art museum in Amsterdam, set to open in 2028.
