Symposium on conservation of modern art

"Theories and Practice in Conservation of Modern Art: Reflections on
    the Roots and on the Perspectives"
International Symposium January 2009

Germany,
13-14 January 2009
10am - 4:30pm

Scientific conception: Prof. Dr. Ursula Schadler-Saub
Conference language: English, Admission: Free

The symposium focuses on the question: On what theoretical basis can
we rely for the conservation and preservation of modern and
contemporary art? To what extent the "classic" conservation theories
of the past century are still valid and can they adapt and evolve?
Or should the concepts, principles and criteria of preservation for
this new art concept be defined very differently?
