Our association formed according to the law regarding nonprofits of 1901 and is named the Association of the Friends of Alfred-George REGNER. The association has for a goal to perpetuate the memory of the artist engraver who died in 1987 and to promote the knowledge of his body of work. a.a.A.G.R. serves to gather the friends, family, collectors, of his artwork and his former students, who wish to help us in this effort.

In addition, the a.a.A.G.R created an annual honorary prize of one of REGNER's engravings intended to encourage an engraver whose talent deserves to be recognized. This prize became "REGNER-LHOTELLIER Prize" created after the death of his close friend Henry LHOTELLIER and was determined by:

Jacques DECLERQ, Claude LAGOUCHE, Hélène de BEAUVOIR, Yves MARCHAUX, Nicolas SOCHOS, Veronique LAURENT-DENIEUIL and Hélène LAFFLY..

The members of a.a.A.G.R. are delighted to have been able to achieve their most important goal, namely: the writing and publishing of the catalogue raisonné of REGNER's paintings and engravings. A work which comes out during the hundred year anniversary of Regner's birth.

The Association wishes to express recognition to its faithful members whose help was so invaluable since its foundation in 1988 including an heartfelt tribute those who unfortunately have passed away: Helene of BEAUVOIR, Lars BO, Doctor Charles CANTAGREL, Robert HAMON, Henry LHOTELLIER, Paul SERAMY and Jeanne REGNER, muse and wonderful wife.
