Abstract

Since the advent of the avant-garde in the early twentieth century, visual artists have adopted new techniques and materials, some of whose characteristics of aging and wear are still largely unknown today. The conservator's intervention has become increasingly delicate, problematic, and experimental and requires not only technical knowledge of materials but also a greater awareness of the artist's intellectual universe. Translated from Italian to reach a wider audience, this is one of the first books to give a comprehensive overview of the many considerations faced by the conservator of modern and contemporary art.The book takes into account both the material and ethical aspects of contemporary art-focusing on the enormous variety of techniques and materials used by contemporary artists-and its deterioration. It also emphasizes the need to understand the meaning of these works when devising an appropriate conservation strategy. A number of chapters are dedicated to specific conservation treatments, such as cleaning and reintegration, while the many issues introduced are illustrated with examples from painting, photography, sculpture, installation art, video, and web-based art. All in all, the text acts as an introduction to many of the issues with which the field is currently grappling.

Abstract

Since the original series of Practical Building Conservation appeared in 1988, it has become a standard reference for those caring for historic buildings large and small: essential reading for architects, surveyors and building managers, as well as conservators. Ashgate Publishing and English Heritage are now publishing an update to this seminal series. The new series has not only been updated to cover the latest techniques and materials, but has been greatly expanded and copiously illustrated. English Heritage is renowned for its expertise in the conservation of buildings, gardens and archaeological sites, and these books are an accessible distillation of many years of experience. They look in detail at building materials ranging from the ancient to the modern, and are studded throughout with practical advice.

Abstract

Le patrimoine culturel a pris une place croissante dans nos sociétés, à la fois comme marqueur identitaire et ressource touristique, ou encore comme attraction culturelle. Au-delà des monuments historiques et des chefs-d'œuvre, le patrimoine intègre aujourd'hui des pratiques et des objets plus locaux, moins exceptionnels, mais tout aussi empreints de valeur aux yeux de ceux qui les protègent. Si on le retrouve partout, aussi bien dans les restes archéologiques que dans les expressions culturelles les plus modernes, c'est surtout dans les villes que se concentre le patrimoine. La diversité des contextes, des acteurs et des cultures produit autant de situations qui questionnent le patrimoine urbain, sa gestion et sa place dans la ville. Les textes rassemblés ici cherchent à interroger la notion de patrimoine urbain plutôt qu'à la définir, notamment par l'analyse des processus par lesquels les acteurs privés et publics donnent du sens à cet environnement particulier et, ce faisant, comment ils le transforment. Bien qu'elles convoquent des villes latino-américaines, nord-africaines, européennes et nord-américaines, les réflexions contenues dans ces dix contributions se recoupent dans l'examen des différentes stratégies mises en place par les acteurs, depuis les pratiques populaires jusqu'aux politiques publiques.
