庆祝欧洲艺术与古董博览会二十五周年
2012年3月16—25日
需要修复的画作《威尼斯：圣马可广场旁的莫诺酒店》----卡纳莱托，丹佛美术博物馆收藏
赫尔瓦特，2012年3月6日。经国际性的专家评审组评审决定，首批成功申请获得欧洲艺术基金会新创立的博物馆修复基金的受益者为：美国的丹佛美术博物馆和荷兰的阿姆斯特丹国立博物馆。他们将得到该基金的资金援助，分别用于修复卡纳莱托的油画以及一组发掘自波旁皇朝伊莎贝拉墓的青铜纪念雕像。博物馆修复基金由举办世界顶级艺术与古董博览会的欧洲艺术基金会（马斯特里赫特）创建，也是2012年16日—25日欧洲艺术与古董博览会二十五周年庆系列活动之一。基金会每年将拨款总额五万欧元的专项资金用于博物馆的修复及维护项目。
丹佛美术博物馆将获得两万六千欧元，用于修复卡纳莱托1736年的油画《威尼斯：圣马可广场旁的莫诺酒店》。作出这一决定的专家评审组说：“卡纳莱托的这幅油画具有无可争议的真实性，通过创新的修复方法可以使全世界的艺术爱好者都从这一项目中获益，这就是我们选择丹佛美术博物馆该项目的主要原因。”
阿姆斯特丹国立博物馆将获得两万两千欧元，用于修复一组发掘自波旁皇朝（始于1476年）伊莎贝拉墓的十个青铜纪念雕像。专家评审组说：“我们做出这一决定的理由是这组雕像急需修复，对于阿姆斯特丹国立博物馆来说，这组雕像是其最精华的收藏之一，在博物馆2013年重新开放时，这组雕像将作为馆藏精品进行展出，届时来自世界各地的很多人都可以欣赏到恢复原貌后的艺术品。”
对申请人作出选择决定的专家评审小组由阿姆斯特丹大学教授、欧洲艺术与古董博览会古董审查委员会主席汉克·凡·奥斯博士Henk van Os主持，其他成员包括：伦敦华莱士收藏馆前主任罗莎琳德·萨维尔夫人Rosalind Savill，来自伦敦的私人艺术品经销商、佳士德古代大师绘画部门前主管雷切尔·卡明斯基Rachel Kaminsky。
欧洲艺术与古董博览会将在展会的赞助商展区展示这两个申请成功的修复项目的详细内容。

专家们在评审项目时遵循以下基本准则：
艺术世界能从该项目中得到多少益处？
公众能从该项目中得到多少益处？
对于该博物馆/该项目，资金援助有多重要？
“对于那些派代表定期访问我们展会的许多博物馆，欧洲艺术基金会十分感激并希望可以通过某种方式给予回报，因此我们创立了博物馆修复基金，”欧洲艺术基金会（马斯特里赫特）主席本·杰森说：“我们的目标是为这些博物馆的藏品保护作出贡献，同时支持这些博物馆将藏品保护的知识与公众分享，而不仅仅是与其他博物馆分享。”
“去年11月，我们给那些派代表参观了2011年欧洲艺术与古董博览会的博物馆寄去了邀请信，邀请他们向博物馆修复基金提交有关他们的馆藏品需要修复和/或维护的申请。仅管这一年的截止时限十分紧张，但仍然有超过二十名申请人向我们提交了他们的项目细节。我们希望这个数字能在将来逐年递增。每年的修复基金总额可以用于一个单独的项目，也可以分开用于若干不同的项目，裁量权归欧洲艺术基金会和专家评审组所有。”
“我们也邀请所有参观2012年欧洲艺术与古董博览会的博物馆代表们在大厅总台或是任何一个参展商处留下他们的联系方式，今年四月，我们将向他们寄出邀请信，邀请他们申请2013年欧洲艺术基金会博物馆修复基金，最终选定的受益人将于六月公布。”

GRANTS ANNOUNCED AS THE FAIR MARKS ITS SILVER JUBILEE
16 – 25 MARCH 2012
In need of restoration: Canaletto’s Venice: The Molo from the Bacino di S. Marco
at the Denver Art Museum
Helvoirt, March 6, 2012. The first winners of grants from the new TEFAF Museum Restoration Fund have been selected by an international panel of experts. The Denver Art Museum in the United States and the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam will receive financial assistance for restoration work on a painting by Canaletto and a group of bronze memorial statuettes from the tomb of Isabella of Bourbon respectively. The Fund has been set up by TEFAF Maastricht, the world’s best art and antiques fair, as part of a series of initiatives marking its Silver Jubilee at the MECC (Maastricht Exhibition and Congress Centre) from 16 – 25 March 2012. Up to €50,000 will be awarded annually towards the restoration and conservation of museum objects.
The Denver Art Museum will receive €26,000 towards restoration work on Venice: The Molo from the Bacino di S. Marco painted by Canaletto c1736. The panel which made the decision says: “The main reasons that the panel chose the Denver Art Museum’s project were the indisputable authenticity of the Canaletto and the innovative way that art lovers worldwide will be able to follow this project.”
The Rijksmuseum will receive €22,000 towards work on a group of ten bronze memorial statuettes from the tomb of Isabella of Bourbon which date from 1476. The panel says: “The reasons for our decision were the urgency of of the conservation and the prominent place that the group of objects will have in the museum once it reopens in 2013. Many people from all over the world will be able to enjoy them.”
The panel which made the decisions is chaired by Professor Dr Henk van Os of the University of Amsterdam, who is Chairman of the Antiquairs Vetting Committees at TEFAF. Its other members are Dame Rosalind Savill, the former Director of the Wallace Collection in London, and Rachel Kaminsky, a private art dealer from New York who was formerly head of the Old Master paintings department at Christie’s.
A small exhibition in the Business Pavilion at TEFAF will display details of both the winning restoration schemes.

In assessing the projects, the experts took the following general criteria into account:
How will the art world benefit from this project?
How will the public benefit from this project?
How significant will the donation be for this museum/project?
“The TEFAF Museum Restoration Fund was created out of the desire to give something back to the great number of museums whose representatives regularly visit our fair,” says Ben Janssens, Chairman of TEFAF Maastricht. “It aims to make a contribution to the conservation of objects that are in those museums’ collections and to support the sharing of knowledge about conservation, not only with other museums, but also with the general public.
“In November last year, those museums whose representatives came to TEFAF in 2011 were sent a letter inviting them to put forward any works of art from their collections that require restoration and/or conservation. Despite this year’s tight deadline, more than 20 applicants sent us details of their projects. We expect this number to grow considerably in the coming years. The total amount can be spent on a single project, but may also be split among a number of different projects at the discretion of TEFAF and the panel of experts.
“We would also like to invite all museum representatives who visit TEFAF 2012 to leave their contact details with one of our exhibitors or at the central desk in the foyer. They will be sent a letter in April inviting them to apply for the 2013 TEFAF Museum Restoration Fund, whose beneficiaries will be announced in July.”
