The Picture So Far: 50 Years of Painting Conservation

edited by Abigail Granville, Laura Hinde, Sophie Plender, Hayley Tomlinson and Nancy Wade

 

The BAPCR 2013 conference papers in this volume look back over the people, places and occurrences which shaped the first 50 years of painting conservation practice and development – particularly in the UK and the USA. Thirteen authors reflect on a variety of topics including: the historic and on-going debates surrounding the notion of patina; the influence of science and technology on conservation practice; developments in aqueous cleaning methods; the importance of archives, oral history and film, and the role of replicas.
