I’m never crazy about #Mondays, but every few weeks, my favourite art conservator releases a new video on Mondays. I’ve been enjoying Julian Baumgartner’s work for many years and love his gentle style and mellow voice - very relaxing!

WOW. Incredible work! 😯

Conservators have nerves of steel, and surgeons' hands.

They really are the gods' strongest soldiers.

I’m back to thinking about the etchings printed on highly reflective synthetic fibers by Barbara Rossi. Many of them she also stitched, pieced, quilted, embroidered or beaded. Forever fascinated by her style and methods. #TextileConservation #ArtConservation

Turns out Angers Cathedral in France has been hiding stunning 13th-century wall paintings for 500 years. Thanks to digital magic, they’ve been revealed—and they’re glorious! Who knew medieval saints were this good at hide-and-seek? #ArtConservation #MedievalArt #DigitalRestoration
Hidden Medieval Wall Paintings Have Been Digitally Restored in France
There appears to be a close connection between the wall paintings and those of Henry III's court.

Hi I’m catatonically anxious but at least I’m still decent at fiddling with little threads. Slowly replacing the missing decorative binding threads by surrealist artist Mary Reynolds. Almost done! #TextileConservation #ArtConservation

This past week I examined cobweb fibers used as a paintings substrate. High magnification, and hyperspectral imaging techniques with variable lighting direction were super helpful to show certain features and properties of the web of fibers. #TextileConservation #ArtConservation

Beneath the layers, color returns—
a slow revival, quiet and deliberate.
Even time, it seems, can be tended.
This is today, seen by AI.

✨️Caring for our collection

Our largest painting, Ernest Ullmann's Untitled (1956), was recently taken to the conservation lab for careful treatment. This artwork depicting twelve figures, speaks to the values of community and togetherness🫂. #ArtConservation

Looking at cobweb samples under the microscope. It was used as a substrate for a painting in the Northwestern University library special collections. The fibers are SO narrow. #ArtConservation

Department visit to the Northwestern science labs with the scientists that we collaborate with on research questions about cultural heritage. We saw so many cool huge machines and also heard about their other projects with other museums and collections. #ArtConservation #ConservationScience

Sometimes my job is especially joyful and silly: many examples of fake lion’s mane mushrooms, made by three conservation colleagues and myself. For a multimedia object installation in the museum that originally used live rotting mushrooms on furniture, can you spot the real one! #ArtConservation

As you may know, a museums' magic isn't just in exhibits; it's in the meticulous behind-the-scenes work—delicate cleanings, careful handling, and thoughtful curation. These unseen efforts ensure art's preservation and presentation. #MuseumMagic #ArtConservation #BehindTheScenes

Reframed and revitalised! This original oil painting looks incredible in its new Larson-Juhl Anjou Silver frame. The colours in the frame beautifully complement the artwork. ✨ #Reframing #ArtConservation #HaveItFramed

I am nerding out on art restoration today. This one is interesting because the art restorer presents a small biography of the painter.
