Icon Paintings Group
Managing the practical and aesthetic work of a frame
Gerry Alabone, Head of Frames Conservation at Tate
Icon Offices, 1 London Bridge, SE1 9BG
Thursday, 26 June 2008, doors open at 6pm

Attendees must register with Charlotte Cowin <ccowin<-a t->icon< . >org< . >uk> to
gain entry.

What are our intentions with managing changes to appearance,
function and context of a frame?  This talk will consider how our
understanding of the story between painting, frame and setting are
important aids for appreciating paintings.  Since paintings
conservators may often be asked to comment on the suitability of a
frame for a particular painting, as well as its potential for
conservation, it is hoped the talk will be of assistance in
discussions between paintings and frames conservators, curators and
clients.

Tickets: Icon members UKP5, non-members UKP10 payment on the door
(exact money please) or by cheque made payable to Institute of
Conservation
