conservators & artists work together

Sometimes an artist's work needs restoration in his or her lifetime. If an artist is still living, it is best to seek out the artist and request that they re-paint damaged areas of their own paintings. If not, that's where a conservator steps in with reversible paints. 
​
In this case, Wisconsin artist Tom Uttech's painting had fire and water damage. Paint loss occurred as a result of water soaking the painting, especially at the bottom. Art CPR conservator Monica Mull worked in collaboration with the Museum of Wisconsin Art and Tom Uttech to preserve this large 60 x 75" painting that he created in 1965. Conservation work included dry cleaning the front and back, stabilizing loose paint & application of gesso to the areas of bare canvas. Now that those areas are primed with gesso, they are ready for Tom to re-paint.....Take it away Tom!

It's amazing how artists can restore a damaged painting. A very interesting and beautiful picture. When something bad happens and the artwork collapses, it is very important to find a quality restorer.
