New favourite YTchannel unlocked 😁 In another life I would have loved to be able to do this.
In current life I would life this gorgeous painting on my wall (anybody wanna sponsor?). -
It is hilarious how this guy's #ArtRestoration videos are sponsored by squarespace trying to get people to build websites. If I ever create #WebDevelopment videos, I'll try to get a sponsorship from an art supply store.

I found myself a new YouTube channel to follow. It's about art restoration, so far, all the videos I have watched are of him fixing the prior failed restoration/preservation did by someone else.

🎨 Ah, the noble pursuit of art restoration, where one learns to balance between a career-ending #disaster and a slightly improved antique. Fra Angelico weeps from the beyond as modern-day Da Vincis attempt to revive his #masterpiece with the precision of toddlers on a sugar high. 🍬🔨

From Paris to Amsterdam, art restoration is becoming a win for museum footfall.
Watching paint dry is suddenly en vogue. Paris’s Musée d’Orsay’s surprise hit this season is a look at the ongoing restoration of Gustave Courbet’s “Un Enterrement à Ornans” (A Burial at Ornans).

This is a plot I made for my neighbor Pietra. She flagged me down to share a story about her sister, from whom she’d been separated as a child. She showed me the only (incredibly damaged) photo she had and asked if I could create a piece for her. Did my best to restore it, and this 200,871 dot plot was born. Commissions always open!

Spanish mother and daughter train #bacteria to restore church frescoes https://www.reuters.com/science/spanish-mother-daughter-train-bacteria-restore-church-frescoes-2024-09-27/ #microbes
"As Spanish #microbiologist Pilar Bosch was casting around for a subject to investigate for her PhD, she stumbled across a paper suggesting that bacteria, her field, could be used in #ArtRestoration, her mother's own area of expertise... The microbiologist trains bacteria by feeding them samples of glue. The bacteria then naturally produce #enzymes to degrade the glue."

A security guard at the Boris Yeltsin Presidential Center in Yekaterinburg, Russia, was fired after defacing a million-dollar painting, "Three Figures" by Anna Leporskaya, on his first day. Out of boredom, the guard drew eyes on two faceless figures using a ballpoint pen. Visitors reported the incident, and the guard was identified and dismissed.

The conservation-restoration of an artifact involves modifying it (a little or a lot).
"Conservators Delivering Change" by Jane Henderson (2022, #OpenAccess).
"Conservation interventions on objects are the most obvious changes arising in conservation practice: whether altering the rates of decay, making a repair, or revealing information, the tangible or intangible aspects are changed. Beyond this there are several realms in which conservators could deliver change: from change in their own approach and practice, leading change in teams, changing the institution and finally changing broader social structures."

My favorite nerd out content: art restoration videos.
I got into this guy during the lockdown in 2020 and it was so soothing and reassuring. I realized how much I dig competence and expertise -- especially at the height of Trumpian ignorance and blatant corruption of expertise.
He's based in Chicago and it's a rabbithole worth falling down.

The photo of the three paintings that Wendy is in front of that are currently scheduled to be restored, represented three stages of restoration that is needed..
The large table regulates heat and humidity to help lift the painting from the 'bedding'.

I went to the first ‘Artist Mixer’ at CMA’s Community Art Center in the Pivot Center located at the former Astrup Awning Co. in the Clark Fulton neighborhood.
A group of us were given a tour of the upstairs, where the ICA -Art Conservation / Restoration nonprofit now calls home.

@scoots I hope you'll find someone who'll help you at the very least with the #preservation of this #painting, and hopefully also with the #restoration of it, without it costing more than you can afford or crowdfund.
Maybe a local art-academy can be of use too? Or a museum/gallery that exhibits local artists or sceneries?
Adding some more hashtags in hopes for increased discoverability: #art #mastoArt #artwork #artRestoration #artPreservation
