“Conserving Outdoor Painted Sculpture”: Proceedings from the Interim Meeting of the Modern Materials and Contemporary Art Working Group of ICOM-CC, edited by Lydia Beerkens and Tom Learner.

This volume is a collection of seventeen papers presented at the June 2013 symposium held at the Kroller-Muller Museum. The papers include case studies of works from Europe, North America and Asia, and include works by Alexander Calder, Christo, John Hoskins, Roy Lichtenstein, Claes Oldenburg, Nam June Paik, Shinkichi Tajiri, and Franz West. Also featured are papers on issues facing conservators of outdoor painted sculpture-ethical/philosophical, technical/material, legal, management, and information exchange—and possible responses; and technical issues, such as how paints or coatings can be developed or tailored to conservators’ or artists’ needs.

This symposium was the interim meeting of the Modern Materials and Contemporary Art working group of ICOM-CC, in collaboration with the Kroller-Muller Museum, the Getty Conservation Institute, and the International Network for the Conservation of Contemporary Art (INCCA).
