135 Years of the Haagse Kunstkring: Support the Restoration of the Bust of Founder Théophile de Bock
This year, the Haagse Kunstkring is celebrating its 135th anniversary. Since its founding in 1891 by, among others, the painter Théophile de Bock, the Haagse Kunstkring has been a place where artists and art lovers meet and inspire one another.
In the club’s garden stands a bronze bust of founder Théophile de Bock, created by sculptor Toon Dupuis. After decades of being exposed to the elements, the statue has become heavily soiled and is in urgent need of restoration. Especially in this anniversary year, the Art Circle wishes to restore its founder to his former glory.
