Raman Spectroscopy in Archaeology and Art History
Volume 1. Ramen spectroscopy allows the non-destructive examination of objects of archaeological and historical importance to characterise their chemical composition and structure and help determine their provenance. The authors give an explanation of Raman spectroscopy and an introduction to the techniques used. Seventeen case studies are given to show work on : dyes and pigments ; artefacts ; biological materials and degradation ; and jewellery and precious stones. It also describes a database of 74 Raman spectra of standard minerals of relevance to metal corrosion, stained glass, and prehistoric rock art.
Keep It Moving?
Kinetic art not only includes movement but often depends on it to produce an intended effect and therefore fully realize its nature as art. It can take a multiplicity of forms and include a wide range of motion, from motorized and electrically driven movement to motion as the result of wind, light, or other sources of energy. Kinetic art emerged throughout the twentieth century and had its major developments in the 1950s and 1960s. Professionals responsible for conserving contemporary art are in the midst of rethinking the concept of authenticity and solving the dichotomy often felt between original materials and functionality of the work of art. The contrast is especially acute with kinetic art when a compromise between the two often seems impossible. Also to be considered are issues of technological obsolescence and the fact that an artist’s chosen technology often carries with it strong sociological and historical information and meanings.
Conserving Canvas
The most authoritative publication in nearly fifty years on the subject of conserving paintings on canvas. In 2019, Yale University, with the support of the Getty Foundation, held an international conference, where nearly four hundred attendees from more than twenty countries gathered to discuss a vital topic: how best to conserve paintings on canvas. It was the first major symposium on the subject since 1974, when wax-resin and glue-paste lining reigned as the predominant conservation techniques. Over the past fifty years, such methods, which were often destructive to artworks, have become less widely used in favor of more minimalist approaches to intervention. More recent decades have witn...
Peroxiporins
To produce energy, aerobic organisms transform oxygen molecules into water. This reductive mechanism yields toxic radical intermediates, collectively known as reactive oxygen species (ROS). Paradoxically, these physiological processes entail the production of potentially damaging species. Evolution has turned this apparent disadvantage into an opportunity for transmitting information. As a result, redox signaling within the cell is an efficient exquisitely organized process. A key element for its regulation is the physical separation of sources and targets into different cell compartments. Peroxiporins, H2O2 transporting proteins spanning biological membranes, distribute the signal from emit...
Supporto e(’) Immagine
Il presente volume raccoglie i contributi presentati durante l’ottava edizione del congresso internazionale COLORE E CONSERVAZIONE 2018, dal titolo SUPPORTO e(‘) IMMAGINE- Problematiche di consolidamento e di conservazione dei supporti nei dipinti contemporanei. Nell’ambito del restauro delle opere contemporanee si incontra terreno fertile per la nucleazione di nuovi dubbi, perché molti aspetti delle opere tradizionali vengono esasperati. In questo settore infatti ancora più che nelle opere tradizionali materia e immagine coincidono; le scelte operative vanno dedotte pertanto dall’ istanza materica/estetica, perché condizionano la struttura e l’aspetto dell’opera. Per questi m...
Florence, Berlin and Beyond: Late Nineteenth-Century Art Markets and their Social Networks
Recent and increasing interest in art market studies—the dealers, mediators, advisors, taste makers, artists, etc.—indicate that the transaction of art and decorative art is anything but linear. Taking as its point of departure two of the most active agents of the late nineteenth century, Wilhelm von Bode and Stefano Bardini, the essays in this volume also look beyond, to other art market individuals and their vast and frequently interconnected, social and professional networks. Newly told history taken from rich business, epistolary and photographic archives, these essays examine the art market, within a broader and more complex context. In doing so, they offer new areas of inquiry for mapping of works of art as they were exchanged over time and place.
Tensionamento e telai
Il seminario TENSIONAMENTO E TELAI DEI DIPINTI SU TELA FRA TRADIZIONE E INNOVAZIONE tenutosi a Piazzola sul Brenta rappresenta la prima occasione di confronto unicamente su questo tema. Ha visto l’incontro di molteplici professionalità dell’ambito del restauro portando alla luce quelle che sono le ultime tendenze in merito e consentendo anche la visione e la diffusione di esperienze europee. Da questa occasione nasce questo volume che raccoglie tutti i contributi presentati durante il seminario. Affrontandolo si noterà come negli ultimi anni sia cambiato l’approccio nei confronti dei telai di supporto ai dipinti su tela. La considerazione e l’ottica in merito si stanno evolvendo e ...
Le tecnologie digitali al servizio della conservazione
L’Italia è stata per decenni, se non per secoli, la patria del restauro e della conservazione. Un ambito frizzante, ricco di idee e di personalità eccellenti per ingegno, abilità manuali e lungimiranza. Questo libro raccoglie gli atti del convegno, tenutosi a Vicenza il 19 marzo 2016, che si è proposto come un’occasione di aggiornamento e di rinvigorimento del settore, offrendo nuovi spunti per riportare l’Italia al centro dell’odierno dialogo internazionale in tema di conservazione. Ciascuno può constatare l’innegabile effetto delle tecnologie digitali sulla quotidianità. Che si legga il giornale attraverso il proprio cellulare, si utilizzi un social network per comunicare o...
Le Mystère de la fresque maudite
Art, meurtres et politique dans la Florence des Médicis Rome, 1458. Piero della Francesca s'était juré de ne jamais remettre les pieds à Florence. Mais lorsqu'un message alarmant de son vieil ami Domenico Veneziano lui parvient, le célèbre peintre n'a d'autre choix que de rejoindre immédiatement la capitale des arts, où il apprend que Domenico est suspecté du meurtre d'un riche banquier. Une accusation qui semble avoir été montée de toutes pièces pour les piéger, Domenico et lui, et le faire revenir à Florence. Tandis qu'il tente désespérément de déjouer le complot qui menace d'envoyer son ancien mentor au pilori, Piero trouve une alliée inattendue en Lavinia, la jeune nièce de Domenico. Convaincue de l'innocence de son oncle, l'apprentie peintre est prête à tous les sacrifices pour le disculper. Une tâche qui se complique de jour en jour. Car les assassinats se multiplient à Florence. Et tous paraissent liés à un cycle de fresques entrepris par Domenico et Piero seize ans plus tôt, et resté mystérieusement inachevé...
