I am an art historian with a conservation question. A conservator
colleague suggested this list as a possible means to obtaining a
solution for a problem. I am curious to learn if anyone has any
experience with any of Arman's serigraphs on sheets of transparent
plastic--mine is of his familiar image of squeezed paint tubes with
extruded pigment.  I have had one for several years and have just
discovered that it is rippling/crumpling badly, resulting in a kind
of contraction.  Is there any way to correct this and possibly
restore the sheets? Would gentle heat, in say a dry mount press
obtain results? Or is this just the result of the material over time
with no real resolution? Thanks,
