The AXA Art Conservation Project and the idea behind its creation
When dealing with standard materials and familiar production techniques, the restoration and the curatorial care of an art object or collectible typically does not constitute a major problem.Yet collectors, museums, conservators and art insurers now find themselves increasingly confronted with damage to art objects and collectibles from the 20th century that cannot be properly restored due to insufficient technical know-how. With its fundamental commitment to the maintenance and care of works of art and their value, the art insurer AXA Art is fostering research into new restoration techniques so that art objects and collectibles now considered unsalvageable can one day be restored.
