L'Oreal Art and Science of Color Prize

The Pigmentum Project has been awarded the L'Oreal Art and Science
of Colour Bronze Prize for their work in the field of pigment
research. The prize was given to Nicholas Eastaugh, Valentine Walsh,
Tracey Chaplin and Ruth Siddall for their publication of the
two-volume and CD-ROM versions of the Pigment Compendium (Elsevier,
2004) and associated research.

Awarded each year by the L'Oreal Art and Science Foundation, the
prize recognises those who contribute to innovative exchanges
between art and science. The prize is now in its seventh year, and
had an especially strong field with 285 entrants. Previous winners
in the conservation field have include Sandrine Pages-Camagna and
Dominique Cardon.
