Lasers in the Conservation of Artworks

Abstract

Conventional cleaning methods (mechanical, wet) are not always sufficient for the restoration of brittle papers, fissures and sensitive inscriptions. Partial cleaning of paper in the vicinity of sensitive media, such as water-colour, is particularly difficult because of the lack of precision using conventional techniques. In these cases, where high spatial accuracy and localized treatments is necessary, laser cleaning might promise to be an additional tool for conservators.
