Washington University (Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum, Washington University)

The Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum, Washington University will engage professional conservators from the Midwest Art Conservation Center to perform critical conservation treatments for 25 artworks identified as high-priority during a full-collection condition survey carried out in 2014. The project will ensure the long-term preservation of these works, and information resulting from the treatments will support research and educational efforts by the museum's constituents, including university faculty, students, outside scholars, and the general public. Reports on each painting treated will include before-and-after photographs of each complete work as well as of areas of particular concern. Details will be recorded in the museum's collections database and object files, components of which will be available on the museum's website.
