Lecture and Book Signing on Jan. 12, Introduces "Facture," the Gallery's New Journal for Conservation
On January 12 at 2:00 p.m., the Gallery will host a lecture introducing its new journal for conservation, Facture. Facture is a biennial journal that introduces the latest in conservation research on works in the Gallery’s permanent collection. Named for “the manner in which all things are made,” the journal presents essays on conservation treatment, scientific research, and technical art history, written for an audience of conservators, scientists, and art historians.
Attendees at the lecture will have the opportunity to purchase their own copies of Facture, and have them signed by the Gallery curators and conservators who authored and edited it. This program is free of charge and seating is first-come, first-seated.
