New Insights into the Cleaning of Paintings: Proceedings from the Cleaning 2010 International Conference
<div>The</div><div>present volume brings together the papers and posters presented at the “Cleaning 2010 International—New Insights into the</div><div>Cleaning of Paintings” conference that was held at the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia in Spain, in collaboration with the</div><div>Smithsonian’s Museum Conservation Institute. This was the first major international conference on this topic in two decades.</div><div>The 20 papers and 19 extended abstracts presented at the conference are included in this publication, grouped into four main</div><div>categories: Ethics, Aesthetics, Training, and Documentation; Traditional Media: Egg Tempera and Oil; Modern Paints; and</div><div>Cleaning Systems. Within each category, the papers and extended abstracts are grouped by the specific topic they address to</div><div>make it easier for the reader to find all related material in one section. A summary of panel discussions held at the end of the</div><div>conference has also been included. All papers and abstracts included in this publication have been peer reviewed. The aim of</div><div>the conference was to provide a knowledge exchange forum and to produce a publication that assembles the latest developments</div><div>in the various studies addressing the problems that affect paintings. These range from normal soiling to removal of</div><div>aged varnishes, from the effect of solvents on paints to the subsequent changes in their mechanical behavior. The cleaning</div><div>of unvarnished paintings is one of the most critical issues that was discussed. Finally, different cleaning techniques, such as</div><div>gels, soaps, enzymes, ionic liquids, and foams, as well as various dry methods and lasers, are discussed in various papers and</div><div>extended abstracts. Although the conference was organized in Spain, the United States contributed 21% of the contents, followed</div><div>by Spain and Italy, both with 16%; the United Kingdom and Germany, each with 9%; and Canada, the Netherlands,</div><div>and Portugal, all with 5%. The rest are individual contributions from Australia, Norway, Switzerland, Poland, and Greece.</div>
