"Conservation is a term that encompasses all measures and actions aimed at avoiding and minimizing future deterioration or losses. These actions can be direct or indirect. They do not modify their appearance."
Studies & Conservation
• Preliminary study for restoration, Collection maintenance,
• Exhibition installation,
• Climate management advice,
• Condition reports,
• Emergency interventions
Preliminary Study
& Condition Report
A preliminary study is conducted before a restoration campaign. It consists of a set of historical, technical, scientific and feasibility studies, which make it possible to establish the interest of a project, to set its objectives and orientations. The preliminary study includes a condition report, a diagnosis, a definition of objectives and recommendations as well as a financial evaluation of interventions.
To carry out a preliminary study, I intervene, depending on the case, alone or as part of a multidisciplinary team (restorers, professional photographer, analysis laboratory).
I also work with private clients (art insurers, art transporters, dealers, collectors) to carry out condition reports in the following cases:
• before/after transport
• purchase/sale of an artwork
• artwork loan
• acquisition to assess the health condition of an artwork.
Collection Maintenance
Dusting, maintenance during exhibitions to be able to intervene if needed or in emergencies, on-site condition reports for arrival and departure of artworks, health assessment of the collection, courier services and conservation recommendations.
All these services are offered for the maintenance and monitoring of your collection.

PREVENTIVE CONSERVATION
• Condition report campaign
• Conservation environment management advice (pollutants, light, climate, infestations, biological contaminations)
• Transport advice (packaging, conditioning and handling)
• Protective backing installation
• Contemporary artwork tensioning
• Rolling of large format artworks
• Courier services
• Hanging/exhibition installation
CURATIVE CONSERVATION
• Antifungal/xylophagous insect treatment
• Stabilization/Canvas support reinforcement/Intervention rework (lining intervention, relining, tear consolidation, tension strip installation...)
• Frame treatment (consolidation, modification, replacement...)
• Pictorial layer consolidation/pictorial layer re-fixation
EMERGENCY INTERVENTIONS
• Protective paper application
• Paint flake re-fixation
• Tear stabilization
• Re-tensioning
