Personal Viewpoints: Thoughts About Paintings Conservation: A Seminar Organized by the J. Paul Getty Museum, the Getty Conservation Institute, and the Getty Research Institute at the Getty Center, Los Angeles, June 21-22, 2001

Abstract

"Bringing Innovative Scientific Techniques to an aesthetic endeavor, paintings conservators interact intimately with works of art. They face countless decisions as they implement a course of treatment for each picture in their care. In this volume of essays, responses, and panel discussions, six paintings conservators, three curators, and a conservation scientist candidly reflect on the challenges and sometimes controversial choices involved in treating works of art. sA thoughtful, provocative, and passionate analysis of the ever-evolving art and science of paintings conservation, Personal Viewpoints offers a rare opportunity to listen in as a diverse group of professionals articulate the practical and theoretical commitments that animate the best work in conservation today. Book jacket."--BOOK JACKET.
