Book Description
"The papers in this volume ... confront the theoretical foundation and the ethical and aesthetical principles of the conservation of modern and contemporary art, testing the limits and possibilities of the development of established positions and seeking new challenges. The authors tackle the crucial question-- whether there should be specific theoretical, ethical and aesthetical guidelines for the conservation and restoration of modern and contemporary art-- by starting from important historical theories and seeing how these might be adapted to meet the demands of contemporary society in dealing with modern artworks and all the multiform cultural manifestations of today"--Page 4 of cover.
