Publisher's Synopsis

This volume represents a forum for conservators, conservation scientists, artists and heritage managers. It includes the voices of many of the different partners involved in the complex task of preserving artworks:

 The vital experience of artists who create murals and are sometimes asked to treat their creations;

 Theoretical reflections on how to deal methodologically with conservation;

 Scientific studies on the identification of constituent materials and/or on the development of procedures for their preservation;

 The opinion of cultural managers;

 The specific experiences of conservators.

All of the above must have a voice in the difficult task of preserving such a challenging and changing heritage.

Este volumen se plantea como un foro de encuentro entre conservadores restauradores, cientìficos, artistas y gestores del patrimonio. En él se incluye el trabajo de los diferentes interlocutores que participan en la compleja tarea de conservar una obra de arte:

 La experiencia vital del artista creador de murales, que a veces es llamado para restaurar lo que ya hizo;

 Las reflexiones teóricas sobre el modo de enfrentarnos metodológicamente a su conservación y restauración;

 Los estudios cientìficos destinados a la identificación de materiales constitutivos o la puesta a punto de procedimientos para su conservación;

 La opinión de quienes se encargan de su gestión;

 Las experiencias concretas de conservadores restauradores.

Todos ellos deben tener voz en la difìcil tarea de conservar un patrimonio complejo y cambiante.
