Close technical examinations of the techniques and materials of Edward Steichen, Mark Rothko, Jules Olitski, Jasper Johns, and others are accompanied by essays that probe issues of conserving contemporary art Volume 5 of the National Gallery of Art’s biennial conservation research journal Facture explores issues associated with the conservation and technical analysis of modern and contemporary art.
Focusing on works in a variety of media by celebrated artists such as Edward Steichen (1879–1973), Mark Rothko (1903–1970), Jules Olitski (1922–2007), and Jasper Johns (b. 1930), this publication’s seven essays offer expertise from conservators, scientists, and art historians, yielding exceptional insights into extraordinary works of art.
