In 2019 Yale University, with the support of the Getty Foundation,
held an international conference, where nearly four hundred
attendees from more than twenty countries gathered to discuss a
vital topic: how best to conserve paintings on canvas. It was the
first major symposium on the subject since 1974, when wax-resin and
glue-paste lining reigned as the predominant conservation
techniques. Over the past fifty years, such methods, which were
often destructive to artworks, have become less widely used in
favor of more minimalist approaches to intervention. More recent
decades have witnessed the reevaluation of traditional practices as
well as focused research supporting significant new methodologies,
procedures, and synthetic materials for the care and conservation
of paintings on fabric supports. Conserving Canvas compiles the
proceedings of the conference, presenting a wide array of papers
and posters that provide important global perspectives on the
history, current state, and future needs of the field. Featuring an
expansive glossary of terms that will be an invaluable resource for
conservators, this publication promises to become a standard
reference for the international conservation community.
