Lasers in the Conservation of Artworks XIII
Author: Salvatore SianoPublisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1003858899
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 361
Book Description
Light allows us not only to see the works of art, but also to take care of them and preserve them for future generations, through diagnosis of the degradation and deterioration phenomena, conservation treatments, and monitoring based on light-material interaction processes. Recent progress on this subject was discussed during the 13th International Conference on Lasers in the Conservation of Artworks (LACONA XIII, Florence, Italy, 12-16 September 2022). This volume includes selected contributions presented at the conference on preservation topics, photonic techniques, and optimization methods. In particular, the papers focus on the development and use of innovative spectroscopic and imaging characterization techniques, the diagnostic knowledge of important artworks, and the optimization of the laser solution for preserving a growing variety of cultural assets, such as stone and metal artefacts, painted surfaces, textile, feather, and plastic artefacts. Lasers in the Conservation of Artworks XIII aims at scholars and operators of the community of preservation of cultural heritage, at teachers and students of training courses on diagnostic and conservation methods, applied physics, and chemistry, as well as archaeology and art history.

Laser Cleaning
Author: Boris Luk`yanchukPublisher: World Scientific
ISBN: 9814488631
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 482
Book Description
Laser cleaning is very important for modern high technology. It is used, or considered for use in the fabrication of printed circuit boards, in the production of dynamic random access memory (DRAM), in lithography and epitaxial growth, for the removal of contaminations during via-hole production, and for the cleaning of micro-optical and micro-mechanical components.This invaluable book presents the mechanics of the cleaning processes, experimental results, and different applications, including laser cleaning of art. It contains review articles by leading specialists in laser cleaning who participated in the 1st International Workshop on Laser Cleaning, held in Singapore in 2001.
Solvent Gels for the Cleaning of Works of Art
Author: Dusan StulikPublisher: Getty Publications
ISBN: 9780892367597
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 184
Book Description
The cleaning of a work of art often involves removing not only dirt and grime but also unwanted layers of varnish, gilding, and paint from the work's surface. The challenge for conservators lies in finding a cleaning agent that will act on one layer without affecting the layer being preserved and without leaving any harmful residues on the cleaned work. This book, which examines gel cleaning in the treatment of paintings and painted works of art, presents the methodologies, data, and results of a collaborative project of the Getty Conservation Institute and Winterthur Museum. Among the issues covered are the theory and application of gel cleaning systems, the detection of residues left on the surfaces of objects cleaned with these systems, research into solvent-gel and solvent residues, stability of surfactants during natural and artificial aging, and recommendations for formulating gels for specific cleaning tasks.

Lasers in the Conservation of Artworks
Author: Klaus DickmannPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3540271767
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 513
Book Description
Since 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 control, laser diagnostics, spectroscopy for monitoring and identification, networks and cooperation projects.
Laser Cleaning in Conservation
Author: Martin CooperPublisher: Butterworth-Heinemann
ISBN:
Category : Antiques & Collectibles
Languages : en
Pages : 136
Book Description
'Laser Cleaning in Conservation' is the first book to be written on this subject. Development of the laser as a practical tool has been a significant advance in the refinement of conservation techniques. It is only over the past five years that conservators have begun to realise the full potential of laser technology. The extremely selective cleaning offered by lasers results in very high quality work while minimising any damage caused. Martin Cooper's pioneering book will give anyone with an interest in the conservation of artworks a basic understanding of the laser cleaning technique so that they are aware of its advantages and limitations. Improved knowledge of the technique will lead to more widespread and responsible use and, therefore, improved conservation of artworks. Martin Cooper took both his first degree and PhD (laser cleaning of sculpture) at Loughborough University. He has since been working as a scientist in the Laser Technology section of the National Museums and Galleries on Merseyside, Liverpool, England, working closely with conservators to research and develop lasers for use in conservation. First book to be written on this subject areaDescribes pioneering work of John Larson and colleagues Includes chapter on laser cleaning of paintings Indepth and wide-ranging case studies show methods and results of use of lasers in conservation
Statistical Analysis in Art Conservation Research
Author: Terry J. ReedyPublisher: Getty Publications
ISBN: 0892360976
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 115
Book Description
This technical report reviews the use of statistics in art conservation research. Its aim is to examine how statistical analyses have been handled in published conservation research studies and to suggest alternative approaches. All components of data analysis—including experimental design, data organization, and statistical techniques—are evaluated.
