Subject: Oil painting damaged by water
A large format contemporary oil painting with no varnish layer was damaged by flooding while in storage. The water streamed down the painting and the result is that long and very shiny drip lines are very visible in oblique lighting. It appears that the surface of the painting has been reformed in the area of the drips and appear very shiny. Does anyone have experience with this type of damage? Is there some way that the shiny drip lines can at least be reduced? *** Conservation DistList Instance 29:44 Distributed: Friday, April 8, 2016 Message Id: cdl-29-44-022 ***Received on Wednesday, 30 March, 2016
