Legacy & Vision
Fernlikt Art Holdings was established to steward the artwork of the late J.M. Henry, a prolific abstract artist whose work explores form, light, and rhythm. Founded by his daughter, Alison Henry, the business is a tribute to both the creative force behind the collection and the personal history it holds. With each piece carefully archived and select works made available through exhibitions and auction, Fernlikt is committed to thoughtful presentation, long-term preservation, and honoring a legacy that continues to inspire.
Meaning of Fernlikt
The name Fernlikt is a stylized anglicization of the German words “fern” (distant) and “licht” (light). Together, they suggest “distant light”—a metaphor for the quiet, transcendent power found in works that balance vastness with intimacy, silence with depth, and form with emotion. The spelling was softened to resonate more clearly in English, while retaining the poetic weight of its origin.
“Art Holdings” was chosen not just as a legal designation, but as a reflection of stewardship—of caring for and curating a legacy. The result is a name that embodies both reverence and reach, grounded in history yet attuned to something beyond.
