Call for Papers
Facture Volume IV: Series, Multiples and Replicas

The National Gallery of Art Conservation Division invites abstracts
of essays to be considered for publication in its biennial journal
Facture.  The fourth issue to be published in the late spring of
2019 will be devoted to artists' series, multiples, and replicas.
Facture presents technical research by conservators, scientists, and
art historians related to the National Gallery collections.  Essays
addressing works that include one or more examples from the Gallery
will be considered as well as papers focused exclusively on the
Gallery's holdings.  Authorship is not limited to National Gallery
staff, and collaborative, multidisciplinary contributions are
encouraged.  Contributions may take the form of a feature essay (not
to exceed 8,000 words) or a shorter notice (not to exceed 4,000
words).  Topics may range from conservation treatment and scientific
investigation to technical art history and may address works of art
in all media.  Essays should be written in a manner equally
accessible to conservators, scientists, and art historians.
Submissions will be evaluated by an Editorial Committee composed of
conservators, conservation scientists, art historians, and educators
on staff at the National Gallery of Art.

Abstracts of 300 words or fewer should include the title, the
authors' names, a brief description, and a statement of the current
state of research and work necessary for the completion of the
essay.  For multi-authored contributions, please identify one author
who will serve as project coordinator.  The text must be double
spaced and submitted as a Microsoft Word document.

Abstracts should be sent to: facture<-at->nga<.>gov no later than April 8,
2016.

Contributors will be notified no later than May 6, 2016.

Questions may be directed to d-barbour<-at->nga<.>gov
