In response to Dave's post......I agree .The Chicago Artists Coalition, a group of working artists in and around Chicago, had an article on the subject of making new works of art last. The author contacted the Chicago Area Conservation Group and interviewed several conservators for the artcle. It is an important aspect of art creation that is generally ignored by modern art schools. ************************************************************************** Craig Deller The Deller Conservation Group Ltd Geneva, Illinois USA [log in to unmask] "Conservators make it last longer" http://home.aol.com/DELLERCON ************************************************************************** *
