Paintings Working Group Triennial Programme 2023-2026

Specific themes for investigation/research

Training

This theme recognizes that training takes place at different experience levels from pre-program to mid-career and beyond employing various models, but training is also not always accessible. How can access be increased where it is needed? What are different ways that colleagues engaged in preservation can be supported where it is difficult to access training?

Sustainability

One of the five objectives guiding ICOM-CC’s Strategic Plan 2023-2026 is sustainability. This was one of the themes of our Working Group’s last Triennium and we will continue to focus on this crucial topic. Areas to be addressed include sustainable conservation materials and methods within a studio setting, climate change and managing collections, as well as packaging in transit for paintings on loan.

‘Work in Progress’ Research Series

Programmes focused on sharing on-going research and/or treatment projects will be designed to create a forum for conservators to exchange ideas and expand their networks. Submissions will be matched based on similar themes/time periods, expanding from Old Masters’ to modern and contemporary art.

Structural conservation

Recent initiatives in the structural conservation of paintings on wood and canvas have increased training, practical knowledge, innovation and networks in this area. By highlighting this theme, it is hoped additional opportunities to explore and expand on this essential topic will be created from adhesives to auxiliary supports to proper display and storage and more.
