The Vladimir Weisberg Foundation is a non-profit organisation created to preserve and promote the cultural legacy of the Russian artist Vladimir Grigorievich Weisberg (1924–1985). The foundation was launched in 2022 by the collector, businesswoman and publisher of The Art Newspaper Inna Bazhenova.

Having observed the constant and growing interest in Vladimir Weisberg’s work in the professional milieu, the organisers of the foundation are convinced of the necessity not simply to deepen and support interest within the art community but also to distribute it among broader circles of art lovers.
