| Goal of the Viktor IV Foundation | |||||||||||
| The goal of the Viktor IV Foundation is to promote Viktor IV's work and to make his work accessible by: | |||||||||||
| - | making an inventory of his work. | ||||||||||
| - | compiling and having published of an extensive monograph. | ||||||||||
| - | organizing exhibitions of the work of Viktor IV. | ||||||||||
| - | involvement with the conservation and management of the inheritance of Viktor IV. At the moment the inheritance is in Copenhagen with Ina Munck. It is her intention to find a permanent storage space in Amsterdam, where after all Viktor's work was made. An important goal therefore is to find a depot and archive room. Not until then the inheritance can be properly ordered and catalogued. | ||||||||||

This website was composed
by board members of the Viktor IV Foundation. Most of the
photo material came from Viktor IV's own archives,
administered by Ina Munck in Copenhagen.
The composers of the website would like to apologize for not having been able to trace the names of all photographers. Since March 2009 photos of 'Ikons' are made by Ole Eshuis by order of the Foundation. |
