About this title

Synopsis

Curatorial Care of Works of Art on Paper is one of the most authoritative books available on the proper care of prints, drawings, sketches, watercolors, and other works of art on paper. In its previous form, as a monograph published by the Intermuseum Laboratory of Oberlin, Ohio, Curatorial Care became an invaluable reference guide for countless students, artists, and professional conservators. This new trade edition, substantially revised and augmented by the author, will prove just as popular.

Included in this book are complete, detailed treatments of such subjects as: factors harmful to paper - light, acidity, moisture, temperature extremes, pests - and how to control them; monitoring and control of interior climate; examination, cleaning, and treatment of deteriorated artworks; matting, framing, storage, and display; and much more.

Curatorial Care of Works of Art on Paper belongs on the shelf of every conservator, conservation student, serious collector, and art professional.
