This year we have also acquired two original artworks to our private art collection from the exhibition “Art for the soul – an Honest Book” organized during World Mental Health Day as support to people living with schizophrenia. Art and design are the core of Foster + Svensson. From our beginnings we spotlighted and supported some major art activities, like founding MAI Marina Abramović Institute, supporting exhibitions and buying art, like original artworks from Nadežda Petrović, two originals from Milan Konjović, work made by Jovana Stojanović from the Faculty of Applied Arts in Belgrade (Calligraphy and Typeface Design academic study course) in the class of Associate Professor Jana Oršolić, and original artwork from Dunja Jung. This very art we buy (sculptures, paintings, prints, drawings) is done from part of profit we make, and where we invest in future history by buying it and displaying at Foster + Svensson as our legacy and investment in contemporary art. It is also a way how we express our support and recognition to the artists. At Foster + Svensson, people are focused on increase of global philanthropy awareness and change of people culture towards better societies. Art preservation represent one of three pillars within Foster + Svensson Foundation, where we identify, promote, buy, and collect arts, that will become legacy for generations to come.
We, Foster + Svensson are an award-winning European branding agency, who put forward well-considered contemporary design, digital and innovation. Our origins in architecture, design, sculpturing, and music are back in 1860 where our descendants brought rich history in visual and musical arts. Dragiša Suvodolac, a Royal Court artist, worked with sculptor Ivan Meštrović on creating “The Victor“ monument in Belgrade (1928) and Memorial monument to the Unknown Hero atop Mount Avala in Belgrade (1938) to name a few. The family of Suvodolac was awarded in 1938 by King Peter II Karađorđević of Yugoslavia with Royal Household Silver Medal with Crown Rare for visual art services including painting, sculpture, and architecture. Suvodolac are one of the oldest and rarest families in Serbia, dated back in 11th century between 1004-1008 during Byzantine Empire, when Suvodol monastery was built and later rebuilt by Prince Lazar of Serbia as Nemanjić dynasty foundation in 14th century. Complete reconstruction was done during 1866 by Mihailo Obrenović, Prince of Serbia. Suvodol monastery is marked as a cultural monument of great importance under Institute for the Protection of Cultural Monuments of Serbia.
Behind us, we salute to one prosperous year on which we remain proud. Happy holidays from all of us at Foster + Svensson. Wishing you joyous compliments of the Season and best wishes for the New Year! 🥂
