The conservation of heavily restored, altered, or partly falsified artworks presents unique challenges. How are these hybrid artworks to be understood and how are they best interpreted? This talk presents two recent conservation treatments of compromised objects and considers the multiple states and meanings these artworks embody.

Gregory Bailey is the Booth Family Rome Prize Fellow in Historic Preservation and Conservation at the American Academy in Rome and assistant conservator at the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, Maryland.

The shoptalk will be held in English. You can watch this event live at https://livestream.com/aarome.
