Description

This is the evolution of a relatively new field of art restoration, explored through critical contributions. Contemporary works of art, being new, should present fewer restoration problems than an ancient, hence old one. This volume, culled from the lectures held in Turin at Castello di Rivoli in 1987 and in 2012, reveals the inner fragility of a modern work of art.
