What is Conservation?
Conservation protects a work of art. Art conservators
possess extensive training in identifying causes of
decay, such as changes in relative humidity, the
presence of ultraviolet radiation, and the effects
of handling during transport. Their aim is not to
effect changes, but to stabilize and prevent further
degradation.
What is Restoration?
Restoration attempts to return art to its original
state. Restorers are artists who must envision what
the art looked like originally and recreate it.
Rather than stabilize and protect, restoration makes
changes, at times substantial.
