Conservation Issues in Modern and Contemporary Murals

This volume is the long-awaited print version of a groundbreaking conference that took place at the Universidad Politecnica de Valencia in 2012, which brought together an international group of artists, conservators, curators, public art managers and scientists to share their experiences with a little-understood specialization: the conservation of wall paintings of the 20th and 21st centuries. The resulting presentations shed new light on a rapidly evolving and innovative aspect of the conservation profession that will be of particular relevance in the future. The book presents eye-opening observations of artists considering the conservation profession for the first time, as well as invaluable research presented by trail-blazing conservation scientists. As such, Conservation Issues in Contemporary Modern Murals, edited by leading professionals in the field, is the definitive work on a previously under-examined specialization of the art conservation profession, and of the creative visual arts.
