Conservation is of great importance to BADA and as such BADA 2019 is delighted to be partnering with world-leading art, furniture and object conservator-restorers Plowden & Smith to bring a new dimension to the BADA 2019 experience.

2019 marks the 150th anniversary of the birth of Philip de László (1869-1937), the celebrated master of Grand Manner portraiture, who painted many of the most powerful and influential figures in late 19th century Europe and America. BADA 2019 is honoured to partner with The de Laszlo Archive Trust to present some of the finest examples of his work, sourced from private collections. The works included in the exhibition will combine important commissioned public portraits, more intimate portraits of family and friends, and examples of de László’s landscape paintings, created in the last years of his life, offering a remarkable perspective on the career of this prolific and highly-regarded artist.
