Art conservation

In preparing for the Klee/Aguéli exhibition, 2016, the works of art on paper of Paul Klee were examined by the museum’s conservators. In 2014 two works by Klee were donated by Peggy Bonnier which joined the earlier donation of seven works from Carl Gemzell’s collection. The works have been conserved, and received new mounts and frames that respect Klee’s original presentation.

Conservator Yana van Dyke explains how the use of lead white pigment in the illustrations of medieval manuscripts, such the Winchester Bible, has implications on the conservation and preservation of such works today.
