Aus der Restaurierungspraxis
As part of a conservation sponsorship between Audi ArtExperience and the Foundation for Concrete Art and Design, Anton Stankowski's “Verformung, Kreis zu vier Punkten” underwent professional restoration.
The surface was dry-cleaned using non-contact vacuum suction and a soft goat-hair brush, followed by damp cleaning with a microfibre cloth and cotton wool. This cleaning not only improves the work's appearance but also helps prevent bacterial and fungal growth, which can cause material deterioration. It should therefore be carried out regularly. Fine scratches in the white areas were retouched with gouache and watercolor, both water-soluble media that can be removed from the original oil painting at any time. The canvas had slackened slightly and was retensioned by adjusting the stretcher keys. Archival-quality corrugated board was screwed to the reverse to protect against physical damage and help stabilise the microclimate around the canvas.
As part of a conservation sponsorship between Audi Artexperience and the Foundation for Concrete Art and Design, Klaus Staudt's “QR 2a” underwent professional restoration.
After carefully removing the work from its frame, the surface was dry-cleaned with particular care due to the delicate orange film applied to it. A loose joint between the white acrylic glass and the supporting structure was re-bounded to restore stability. Finally, the frame was retouched and the work reframed. It is now suitably packed and stored in the museum's collection storage, ready for the future permanent exhibition at the Museum of Concrete Art and Design (MKKD).
