Conservation and Collection Care

Before, during and after cleaning treatment for painted silicone and foam latex sculpture affected by bloom caused by poor storage conditions and elevated relative humidity levels

Before (above): storage of historic passementerie in bags emitting harmful VOCs, with items bundled together and causing damage to fragile textiles


After (below): oversized items packed concertina with archival materials supporting folds to prevent future damage.  Other samples rolled with archival materials, secured and labeled on objects and packaging for easy retrieval and allowing works to be stored without causing damage to themselves or adjacent items.
