Fortius supports Luxembourgish artists affected by record floods

On July 14 and 15, Luxembourg was hit by record floods which also affected a large number of local artists, galeries and cultural institutions. Alarmed by a call for help published in the magazine Paperjam, Fortius contacted several artists in order to offer them assistance to secure their artworks in the Luxembourg High Security Hub.

Well known contemporary artists Martine Feipel & Jean Bechameil were the first to accept our assistance. The duo’s storage space is located in the Echternach region, which was severely impacted by the floods. The Konschthal Esch offered them an emergency storage solution on their premises until the middle of the August, after which 6 of their artworks were transferred to our storage at the Luxembourg High Security Hub, where they remain protected free of charge for as long as necessary.
