"Over the past seventy years, a staggering array of new pigments and binders have been developed and used in the production of paint and twentieth-century artists have readily applied these materials to their canvasses. Paints intended for houses, boats, cars, and other industrial applications frequently turn up in modern art collections, posing new challenges for paintings conservators.""Modern Paints Uncovered"" brings together the collected wisdom of a number of internationally renowned experts to discuss the impact of synthetic paints on modern art conservation and showcase cutting-edge research into the conservation of contemporary painted surfaces."
