Baumgartner Restoration

Baumgartner Fine Art Restoration, commonly known as Baumgartner Restoration, is a Chicago-based art conservation studio operating a YouTube channel of the same name.

History

In 1978, Rene Agass Baumgartner established the studio in Chicago. He was born in Switzerland and had studied at both the Luzerne Academy of Art and École [des Beaux-Arts]. His son Julian, who had begun working with him in 2000, took over the studio after Agass' death in 2011 at age 63. In 2016, Julian started a YouTube channel documenting himself restoring various artworks, becoming well-received and attracting media coverage.
