Extended Abstract - Cleaning issues for nine Francesc Artigau pop art paintings

# metadata.dc.description.abstract[].value
In the 1960s, Pop artist Francesc Artigau (born in Barcelona, 1940) painted a series  of nine works on plywood panels using a traditional primer of commercial gouache, egg  yolk, and color pencils. After more than 30 years of exposure to rubbish amidst an indeterminate  number of dogs, the paintings show a deplorable state of conservation. The  present study examines the treatment undertaken on the paint and ground layers, consisting  mostly of cleaning, one of the key challenges of the project.
