Woodcock, Sally (ed.)
Big Pictures: Problems and Solutions for Treating Outsize Paintings
Book is in excellent condition in nearly every respect: sraight, very tight, solid binding, with sharp corners, text/interior is clean and free of marking of any kind. Strangely, however, the "Big Pictures" portion of the title on the cover has been very neatly blacked out under a perfeclty cut rectangle of black paper, glued down. Odd. The only other flaw is the lower corner of the cover is chipped, otherwise very clean inside and out. A collection of articles by different authors on the subject. Articles include: Conservation of large miniatures on ivory; The conservation of large-format works of art on paper, The conservation and reinstatement of the Lonsdale Frieze, Mount Stuart, Installation of L'Escargot, by Henri Matisse, Cy Twombly: big pictures in a travelling retrospective, Touring Robert Rauschenberg's 32 ft long painting Barge Gillian McMillan, The problem of the seven foot door, Using Aluminium for a stretcher a practial assessment, The challenges of storing a collection of theatre backcloths, etc. 152 pages with photos, mechanical drawings, tables, charts.
