Offers an overview of the analysis of art and archaeological materials using techniques based on mass spectrometry Illustrates basic principles, procedures and applications of mass spectrometric techniques. Fills a gap in the field of application on destructive methods in the analysis of museum objects Edited by a world-wide respected specialists with extensive experience of the GC/MS analysis of art objects Such a handbook has been long-awaited by scientists, restorers and other experts in the analysis of art objects
Forgeries present a daunting problem to art historians, museums, galleries and curators who face challenges in determining the authenticity of paintings. Recent progress in science has led to the development of new methods for investigating works of art, and can provide new insights into the materials found in paintings. The rise in the value of paintings together with the knowledge and skills of forgers highlights the need to develop reliable scientific procedures to identify fakes. Given the complexity of materials in paintings and the convergence of various disciplines, a methodological approach for nvestigations of paintings is based on art historical, curatorial, aesthetic, technical an...
Jean Paul Riopelle (1923-2002) was one of the most important Canadian artists of the twentieth century, yet he is relatively unknown in the U.S.. He began his career in Montreal in the 1940s, where he played a role in the influential Automatist movement, and established his reputation in the burgeoning art scene of postwar Paris, where his circle included André Breton, Samuel Beckett, and Sam Francis. During his career, Riopelle produced over six thousand works, including more than two thousand paintings. This volume, the second in the Artist's Materials series, grew out of a research project of the Canadian Conservation Institute. Initial chapters present an overview of Riopelle's life and situate his work within the context of twentieth-century art. Subsequent chapters address Riopelle's materials and techniques, focusing on his oil paintings and mixed media works, and on conservation issues. The preface is by Yseult Riopelle, the artist's eldest daughter and editor of his catalogue raisonné. This first book-length study of the artist in English will interest curators, conservators, conservation scientists, and general readers.
This open access book offers a comprehensive overview of the role and potential of microorganisms in the degradation and preservation of cultural materials (e.g. stone, metals, graphic documents, textiles, paintings, glass, etc.). Microorganisms are a major cause of deterioration in cultural artefacts, both in the case of outdoor monuments and archaeological finds. This book covers the microorganisms involved in biodeterioration and control methods used to reduce their impact on cultural artefacts. Additionally, the reader will learn more about how microorganisms can be used for the preservation and protection of cultural artefacts through bio-based and eco-friendly materials. New avenues for developing methods and materials for the conservation of cultural artefacts are discussed, together with concrete advances in terms of sustainability, effectiveness and toxicity, making the book essential reading for anyone interested in microbiology and the preservation of cultural heritage.

Il volume prende in esame una serie di interventi archeologici, finora inediti, realizzati nell’arco di più di un decennio (2000-2013) nel corso dei lavori finalizzati alla riqualificazione del centro storico di Ferrara. In questa zona, nella quale si concentravano i palazzi del potere della signoria Estense, le indagini hanno interessato in modo particolare la vasta area di piazza Municipale, dell’edificio ex Bazzi e del Giardino delle Duchesse, sulla quale insisteva il Palazzo di Corte Vecchia e il Palazzo Ducale con gli annessi giardini; corso Martiri della Libertà, dove si trovavano la Loggia Grande e il Castello Estense, al cui interno è stato possibile rinvenire il Giardino Pens...
Il volume raccoglie 17 articoli di studiosi italiani e stranieri che illustrano ricerche archeologiche interdisciplinari in cui l’uso delle tecnologie informatiche risulta determinante per l’acquisizione, l’elaborazione e l’interpretazione dei dati. Tecniche di analisi statistica, banche dati, GIS, sistemi multimediali e di musealizzazione virtuale, tecniche di rilievo tridimensionale, piattaforme social network, tutti contribuiscono a dimostrare la vitalità dell’informatica archeologica per la ricerca e per la diffusione delle informazioni. Chiude il volume la sezione dedicata alle note e recensioni.
La pubblicazione dei dati scaturiti da questa prima ricerca sugli aspetti tecnologici della scultura del Gandhara si pone come un momento assolutamente preliminare, con la consapevolezza di quanto sia necessario ancora approfondire, specie riguardo alla quantità dei reperti da analizzare, provenienti anche da altri siti finora non presi in considerazione, ed alla quantità e varietà di analisi da effettuare. Si è certi comunque, già dai risultati ottenuti, che tale studio sia particolarmente stimolante e utile per meglio focalizzare alcune problematiche storiche e culturali, legate alle modalità di arrivo, di sviluppo e di espansione degli influssi artistici nel mondo buddhista del Gand...
