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, [1] took over the studio after Agass' death in 2011 at age 63. [2] In 2016, Julian started a YouTube channel documenting himself restoring various artworks, becoming well-received [3] and attracting media coverage. [4] [5]
