The Kinkade Family Foundation Collection

The collection of Thomas Kinkade’s art consists of original paintings and drawings. These works range from early experimental and emotionally charged figurative paintings to his well-known light-filled cottages. Though his editioned and published work has been widely collected, the original paintings and drawings have rarely been seen publicly.

Exhibitions

Since 2004, Thomas Kinkade has participated in museum and gallery exhibitions that blur the line between high and low culture and explore the interplay between darkness and light. His work has been featured in several publications, such as Artforum, Artnet, The Los Angeles Times, and Vice Magazine. In 2020, The Foundation collaborated with the New Art Dealers Alliance (NADA) to release prints based on a never-before-seen artwork to support NADA's members and art galleries.
