We would
like to let you know that the Fondation Hardt currently offers a special volume
that tells the story of the Baron Kurd von Hardt (1889-1958) and the history of
the institution he founded:
“This book
recounts the extraordinary destiny of a man and the success of the work to
which he devoted his life and fortune: a foundation dedicated to the study of
classical antiquity. In 1950 Kurd von Hardt, a German Baron, acquired a large
estate in Vandœuvres in the Canton of Geneva. There he opened a research centre
that would achieve international recognition. Nicolas Gex, a historian,
presents the biography of the Baron, the history of the Foundation, the library
as well as the Entretiens sur l’Antiquité classique. Térence Le
Deschault de Monredon, an art historian, analyses the collection of works
assembled by Kurd von Hardt. Christine Amsler, a specialist in the regional
history of Geneva, discusses the district of Chougny, an area known as La
Chandoleine, from its origins in the seventeenth century to the present.”
