Publication on conserving outdoor painted sculpture

New from the Getty Conservation Institute:

    Conserving Outdoor Painted Sculpture: Proceedings from the
    Interim Meeting of the Modern Materials and Contemporary Art
    Working Group of ICOM-CC, edited by Lydia Beerkens and Tom
    Learner.

This volume is a collection of seventeen papers presented at the
June 2013 symposium held at the Kroller-Muller Museum.  The papers
include case studies of works from Europe, North America and Asia,
and include works by Alexander Calder, Christo, John Hoskins, Roy
Lichtenstein, Claes Oldenburg, Nam June Paik, Shinkichi Tajiri, and
Franz West.  Also featured are papers on issues facing conservators
of outdoor painted sculpture--ethical/philosophical,
technical/material, legal, management, and information exchange--and
possible responses; and technical issues, such as how paints or
coatings can be developed or tailored to conservators' or artists'
needs.

This symposium was the interim meeting of the Modern Materials and
Contemporary Art working group of ICOM-CC, in collaboration with the
Kroller-Muller Museum, the Getty Conservation Institute, and the
International Network for the Conservation of Contemporary Art
(INCCA).
