Session description: Although restorers who repaired damaged works
of art have long existed, it was only during the second half of the
twentieth century that art conservation fully developed as an
established profession and an academic discipline. This session
celebrates the fiftieth anniversary of New York University's
Institute of Fine Arts Conservation Center, the first American
graduate level program in art conservation. Participants will
consider how the interaction of conservators and other art-related
professionals has enriched the work of all concerned. Possible
pairings might include conservator and artist, conservator and art
historian, conservator and curator, conservator and architect,
conservator and archaeologist, conservator and photographer, and
even, somewhat controversially, conservator and art dealer or
conservator and forger. While academic papers may be considered, it
is hoped that this session will include presentations in which both
parties to the conservation interaction discuss their collaboration.
