The damage
  1. Support distortion
    01

    Support distortion

    Severe three-dimensional planar distortion affecting the textile support.

  2. Loss of flatness and tension
    02

    Loss of flatness and tension

    Loss of geometric flatness and compromise of uniform canvas tension.

  3. Surface dirt
    03

    Surface dirt

    Faint accumulation of surface dirt dulling the original optical vibration of the interlocking grid.

The treatment
  1. Temporary separation of the artwork from its secondary backing support.
  2. Elimination of the distortion through controlled humidification and regulated pressure methods.
  3. Recovery of absolute planar flatness, re-adhering, and structural re-tensioning of the canvas.
  4. Dry surface cleaning of the pictorial layer.
  5. Highly minimalist, micro-localized chromatic reintegration.
