    Colour Change in Paintings
    Rhiannon Clarricoates, Helen Dowding and Alexandra Gent (eds)

    Standard UK Price: UKP32.50

    Changes in colour may completely alter the way we see a
    painting.  From blue leaves in a still life, to the blue walls
    in Van Gogh's bedroom, our perception of a painting can be
    informed by an understanding of these changes.  When conserving
    paintings our comprehension of these alterations can influence
    the way we display and restore them.

    The papers in this volume, presented at the ICON paintings group
    conference at Tate Britain, London in 2015, examine the various
    issues of colour change in paintings, using examples from the
    work of the old masters to modern and contemporary painters,
    including: Colour change in old master paintings (Marika Spring,
    The National Gallery, London), Restoration of paintings with
    colour change (Larry Keith, National Gallery, London), Fading of
    Prussian blue in Danish golden age paintings (Jorgen Wadum,
    National Museum of Denmark), Colour change in Van Gogh (Ella
    Hendricks, University of Amsterdam), Rothko virtual restoration
    project at Harvard (Jens Stenger, Yale), Colour change in modern
    pigments, (Bronwyn Ormsby, Tate), Micro-fading: applications for
    paintings (Joyce Townsend, Tate) and Light and fading:
    Incandescent and LED (Joseph Padfield, National Gallery).
