For the first episode in this series we take a look at all of the work required before any conservation project begins. From examinations to research and materials testing much happens before any work is executed on the actual painting. While no two projects are alike and the process of approaching a conservation may differ from studio to studio, painting to painting and even at Baumgartner Fine Art Restoration this should provide a small glimpse into the first steps a conservator takes.
Julian Baumgartner is the conservator at Baumgartner Fine Art Restoration in Chicago. A second generation business and the oldest conservation studio in Chicago, Baumgartner Fine Art Restoration works with clients across the world to find conservation solutions for their artworks.
