A lot of artists ask, but AMIEN does not recommend conservation treatments. We are artists, not conservators. Think of a work of art in need of treatment as though it was a human patient in need of medical care. Every single art object needs to be treated like a unique object, deserving of individualized, custom treatment.
If your work is in need of treatment, see a qualified conservator. You can begin with your local museum – the staff there can, if they have a conservation department, help you. If they do not have a conservation department, a member of the staff can help you find a local conservator in private practice, or direct you to the nearest museum with a conservation department.
You can also contact the The American Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works for information on how to find a conservator.
