"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."

Technical study
& condition report

A technical study is conducted prior to any conservation treatments. 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 technical 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 technical 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.
