Paper and Silk: The Conservation of Asian Works of Art
This program begins with a brittle 18th century Chinese scroll painting
in hundreds of fragments. With Asian curator Robert Jacobsen (The Minneapolis
Institute of Arts) and conservators David Dudley and Downey Rugtiv (Upper
Midwest Conservation Association), we are led through the restoration
process: from the initial piecing together of the work to its rebacking,
in painting and eventual remounting on a paper panel. The tools and techniques
of Asian conservation methods are explained in addition to the rationales
for procedure -- which objects deserve to be repaired and why.
