Lasers in the Conservation of Artworksby K. Dickmann
Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG 2004; US$ 299.00Since 1995, when Costas Fotakis first brought together restorers and scientists to discuss the potential of lasers in art conservation, the field has grown enormously in importance, and today restorers and laser scientists work together to develop new applications. This book presents the more than six dozen research papers prepared for LACONA V (Lasers in Art Conservation), held in Osnabrueck/Germany in September 2003. The fifth congress once again gathered restorers, art historians, museum staff, laser scientists and laser manufacturers. The topics include, among others: laser cleaning of artworks (case studies and side effects), removal of former conservation layers, fundamentals of laser-artwork interaction, online monitoring and process... more...
Radiation in Art and Archeometryby D.C. Creagh; D.A. Bradley
Elsevier 2000; US$ 215.00/inca/publications/misc/creaghcov.htm About the cover This book contains twenty chapters covering a wide range of research in the fields of scientific conservation of art and archaeometry. The common thread is the use of radiation in these analyses. The term "radiation" is used in the widest possible sense. The book encompasses the use of electromagnetic radiation in its microwave, infrared, visible, ultraviolet, x ray and &ggr; ray forms and the use of particulate forms such as electrons, neutrons and charged particles for which the Planck's Law relation applies. In many cases there is an interplay between the two forms: for example, proton induced x ray emission (PIXE), secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). As far as possible the... more...
Lasers in the Conservation of Artworksby Johann Nimmrichter; Wolfgang Kautek; Manfred Schreiner
Springer 2007; US$ 319.00Over the last decades, the use of lasers in artwork conservation has became an important tool for many conservators, scientists, architects and other experts, who are involved in the care of monuments and artefacts or applied laser technology. Professor Costas Fotakis first brought together restorers and scientists in 1995 to discuss the potential of lasers in art conservation. The field of ???Lasers in the Conservation of Artworks??? has since gained considerably in importance, and nowadays restorers and laser scientists work closely together to develop new applications. Furthermore a large number of national and international research projects have been carried out by conservator-restorers, architects and scientists. In the last 10 years,... more...
Conservation Treatment Methodologyby Barbara Appelbaum
Taylor & Francis 2007; US$ 35.95Conservation Treatment Methodology presents a systematic approach to decision-making for conservation treatments. The methodology is applicable to all cultural property, independent of object type or material, and its use will enable conservators to be more confident in their treatment decisions. Conservation Treatment Methodology is illustrated with numerous examples that emphasize the equal importance of the physical and cultural aspects of objects for decision-making. The book also explains how the history of an object and the meaning that it holds for its owner or custodian contribute to determining its treatment. Conservation Treatment Methodology is an essential text for conservators, historic preservation specialists, and restorers,... more...
Das Originale der Kopieby Tatjana Bartsch; Marcus Becker; Horst Bredekamp; Charlotte Schreiter
Walter de Gruyter, Inc. 2010; US$ 112.00Ziel des vorliegenden Bandes ist es, Dimensionen der kulturellen Praktik des Kopierens antiker Kunst auszuloten. Kopien als das Primäre - das Originale? -, das sich als sekundär zu verstehen gibt, sind der Motor mannigfaltiger kultureller Austauschprozesse, in denen die verschiedensten Inhalte und Botschaften verhandelt und kommuniziert werden. Als Produkteund Medien der Transformation von Antike bringen Kopien die Verhältnisse einer scheinbar simplen Antikenrezeption zum Tanzen". more...
The Postprints of the Image Re-integration Conference 15th-17th September 2003by Jean Brown
Northumbria University Press 2007; US$ 19.95The Postprints of the Image Re-integration Conference was a cross-disciplinary meeting to investigate the range of approaches taken by different conservation disciplines to image reintegration issues. The replacement of missing elements of an image, or decorative surface, is often referred to as image reintegration; this volume details the proceedings of this meeting. more...
Lasers in the Conservation of Artworks VIIIby Roxana Radvan
CRC Press 2010; US$ 159.99Laser techniques offer possibilities for the examination and conservation of artwork, and for the prevention of cultural heritage. This collection of peer reviewed papers from the 8th International Conference on Lasers in the Conservation of Artworks, Sibiu, Romania, September 21-25, 2009, addresses various aspects of cultural heritage preservation (laser induced phenomenas, laser investigations and recent laboratory studies and onsite applications). The main topics include: -- Innovative approaches in laser cleaning researches and instrumentation development; -- Laser investigation and diagnostics methods; -- Monitoring, imaging and documentation of artwork. Lasers in the Conservation of Artworks VIII will appeal to laser scientists, conservation... more...
