The study follows a 2002-2003 Kress Conservation Fellowship devoted to the preservation issues of large format works on paper. During the one-year fellowship tenure, the conservator will focus on solutions to exhibition problems and will conduct treatments for an exhibition that will feature unconventional three-dimensional works by contemporary artists. A presentation or publishable paper based on the project is expected. The successful candidate will gain experience working with a wide variety of paper based objects in a busy program serving two museums, the Legion of Honor and the new deYoung Museum. Graduates from recognized training programs are encouraged to apply. Stipend: $25,000/year plus $3,000 for travel related to the project.
