Introduction to Conservation of Outdoor Bronze Sculpture
New York Conservation Foundation
August 2 - 6, 9 - 13, 2004 in New York City and Princeton, New
Jersey, USA:

"The Bronze Seminar" integrates diverse conditions, technical
practices, aesthetic systems, and basic logistics and
administration, for conserving outdoor bronze sculpture. Expert
lectures, participant presentations and
group discussions help place bronze monuments and their care in
contexts of studio and foundry practice, environmental science,
aesthetics and civilization. Field exercises include connoisseurship
tours of outdoor monuments, and hands-on conservation and maintenance
of outdoor bronzes.

Since 1994, about 100 conservators, conservation students, curators,
foundry crafts people, art handlers and artists from the Americas and
Europe have participated in this annual seminar.

This seminar addresses closely related aims:

1. Introduce outdoor bronze sculpture caretakers and their supervisors
to current knowledge, theory and methods, oriented to the ethics
and practices of modern conservation.

2. Share access to useful resources in the care of outdoor bronze
sculpture, including experts, literature, technology and supply.
