Kress Conservation Fellowship in Asian Paintings awarded
NEDCC

NEDCC's 2015-2016 Kress Conservation Fellow in Asian Paintings is
Amy Chen, a graduate of Tainan National University of the Arts,
where she earned an MA in Restoration of Letters, Cultural Relics,
and Eastern Paintings.  The Conservation Fellowship is funded by
the Samuel H. Kress Foundation and administered by the Foundation of
the American Institute for Conservation (FAIC).

Amy Chen's fellowship training provides an advanced level of
expertise in the field of Asian Painting Conservation, and helps
develop judgement and flexibility in treating a variety of objects
and artifacts in all media on paper, including Asian scrolls
(kakejiku), screen (byobu), prints (ukiyo-e) and Japanese or Chinese
bound volumes.

NEDCC and the Nishio Conservation Studio (NCS) in Washington DC have
partnered to provide quality care and professional conservation
treatment of Japanese, Chinese, and Korean art.  The partnership has
made NEDCC and Nishio Conservation Studio an ideal training
opportunity for conservators specializing in Asian Art.  Traditional
techniques and craftsmanship are combined with modern scientific
analysis and conservation procedures to merge Asian aesthetics with
Western technology while conforming to the ethics and standards of
practice of the American Institute for Conservation (AIC).
