![]() Monica of Art CPR was honored to have the opportunity to learn the Modular Cleaning System with conservators from around the globe, at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn taught by Chris Stavroudis of Los Angeles, a consultant to the Getty Museum. Conservators learned organic chemistry, then applied it in the lab creating over 40 cleaning solutions. Monica is pictured here with Emilia Cortez, an ancient Egyptian artifacts conservator who has been at the Metropolitan Art Museum over 25 years, and Renee Riedler, of Vienna Austria, at the American Natural History Museum in NYC.

In this one minute video, Monica Mull of Art CPR reveals hidden writing beneath an original watercolor illustration for one of Ludwig Bemelmans' classic childrens' books. The illustration on watercolor paper was glued to a cardboard backing. (very bad!) As Monica removes the cardboard backing, letters begin to appear. What did Ludwig write on the back of his artwork? Watch the video to find out.
