Subject: Cat urine on unprimed color-field painting
I have received in my studio for treatment a color-field painting on unprimed canvas that has been marked with urine by a male cat. I am wondering if anyone on the list has recent references regarding feline urine composition and chemistry, as well as conservation-appropriate procedures and formulae for its removal from unprimed canvas? Thanks in advance for any references and/or suggestions.
