Call for abstracts--Metal soaps in art

Call for Abstracts

Conference

"Metal Soaps in Art"
14-15 March 2016
Rijksmuseum
The Netherlands

Deadline for submission of abstracts: 1 November 2015

Since the discovery of metal soap-related degradation phenomena in
paintings at the beginning of this century, thousands of art objects
affected by metal soap degradation have been recognized.  The
conference will bring together art historians, conservators and
scientists to present the current status in metal soap-related
degradation and to discuss conservators' needs for characterization,
treatment, implications for appearance, as well as the analytical
challenges involved.

The conference incorporates an innovative workshop which will serve
as a platform for discussion and where future research objectives
will be defined.  The 2-day conference comprises presentations by
invited speakers and poster sessions with pitches (1.5 days),
followed by a workshop (0.5 day).
